The theme, marriage and origin family, appeared from observations in the attendance of a couple, whose main complaint of one of the spouses was the fact of that the other remains more "married" to the origin family than to the spouse -although both were tied to their families. This fact reflected negatively in their lives, causing them suffering, making them seek therapeutic help. The clinical case is characterized by the invisible loyalty in relation to the origin family, which works as ties, impeding the couple’s development.
