In this day in age, we typically know the political stance of someone that we're seeing pretty early on — online dating makes sure of it.

Family therapy typically refers to therapy treating all or most of a family as a unit. Families might see a therapist to stave off budding problems, such as growing tension or disconnection among family members.
