During therapy, the expectations play a significant role as far as the client change is concerned. The therapist is expected to understand the clients appropriately to enable personalized and effective care as well as positive outcomes at the end of the therapy. The marriage and family therapy, specifically Marital Satisfaction Inventory-Revised (MSI-R), involves a lot of information sharing as regards to the couples, their families, and their relationship. It is expected that the therapist would ask a wide range of questions concerning the current challenges facing the clients and the objectives of carrying out the therapy.
