Although intercultural couples are increasingly the norm there is a paucity of systemic literature on working with interfaith couples and families. This paper, based on composite case examples, attempts to address this gap. I use two examples of couples where one partner is South Asian Muslim, to illustrate four inter‐related themes that emerged in the process of the work. The themes were: therapists’ positioning, the importance of the wider socio‐political context, honour, shame and gendered beliefs, and the family life cycle. I also highlight how embodied and non‐verbal representational systemic techniques can be used when working with interfaith couples to access domains of relationality, which may be inaccessible to exclusively verbal strategies.
