Spiritual or religious conflicts in couples can challenge the forward progress of couples counseling. The statistics on the number of clients and therapists who believe in God and of clients who would like to address spiritual issues in both secular and religious counseling must persuade all counselors to become familiar with the ways to address such issues. This article adds to the literature that educates family counselors on strategies for approaching spiritual differences and conflicts in families. A case is offered as an illustration.

Key Words: religious conflicts • spiritual differences • couples counseling • spirituality • spiritual values
