Introduction: There is growing evidence indicating schema modes influences emotional and behavioural response in couple interaction which affects relationship satisfaction. Thus, identifying dominant schema modes is important for effective couple therapy. Objective: A two-stage positive psychology couple schema therapy, which takes into account the influences of schema and schema modes on couple attraction and dysfunctional conflict resolution style in couples, is proposed. Method: This article describes a case study applying positive psychology couple schema therapy. The first stage of this couple therapy involves identifying the schema mode of each partner, rescript significant childhood experiences, helping each partner to meet the unmet childhood needs and strengthening healthy adult mode. The second stage of the therapy incorporates positive psychology and collaborative therapy to help couples identify and support each other’s positive interests, values and dreams, thus enhancing couple attraction and relationship. Conclusion: Positive psychology couple schema therapy was able to help couples heal childhood unmet needs and reinforce couple attraction.
