The therapist will probably first conduct an individual counseling therapy with each spouse and then move on to a couple counseling session. Sometimes when the issues are larger than life, family members connected to the issue may be roped in for a session in family therapy.

Family counseling with regards to marital issues could mean that the issues between the couple could be caused by exterior factors such as in-laws or children. They could be acting as an external catalyst which is stirring trouble between the couple. Involving them in the therapy process could help overcome a lot of obstacles and issues without severing relationships with anybody. Family therapy is all about, bringing together the different units that make up a family and resolving the issues such as barriers to communication and loss of respect within family members. The issues of each individual and the view-points of each individual is taken into consideration by a third party therapist that looks at the macro and micro details of each issue. It is healthy and therapeutic to talk out the problems. It is only when each member actively participates in the family counseling, with a view to make a change to the situation at hand, that the therapist can make any substantial progress with the case. Once the problems are identified, processes and mechanisms are brought together to help overcome the problems keeping in mind the impact that the lifestyle change will have on each member, explaining to each one that compromise is a part of the process. Overtime and with healthy counselling sessions, any barrier can be overcome.
