Treatment for couples presenting with sexual difficulties should consider the context of the couple’s lives and their cultural milieu. Practitioners treating couples from traditional and faith-based societies should acknowledge, respect, and be willing to modify treatment to conform to the clients’ beliefs. The purpose of this article is to describe the case of a young ultra-Orthodox couple presenting with unconsummated marriage and to illustrate and elucidate the multidisciplinary and culturally sensitive treatment provided.
