What Is the Marriage Checkup?

The Marriage Checkup is a structured, assessment-based process designed to evaluate and strengthen your relationship in a focused and efficient way.

This is not ongoing therapy.
It is a comprehensive relationship assessment with clinical feedback and a clear plan for next steps.

Before Your Session

You will each complete a set of brief questionnaires designed to assess key areas of your relationship, including:

  • Relationship satisfaction

  • Communication patterns

  • Areas of strength and concern

These measures help ensure that your feedback is grounded in both your lived experience and structured data.

The Intensive (approximately 3 hours total)

  • During this session, we will:

    • Explore your relationship history

    • Clarify your reasons for seeking the checkup

    • Observe and assess your communication patterns in real time

    • Identify key strengths and areas of concern

  • (Completed after a short break or scheduled separately)

    You will receive structured feedback that includes:

    • A clear summary of your relationship dynamics

    • A review of your questionnaire results

    • A highlighting of your strengths and resilience as a couple

    • Identification of specific areas that need attention

    We will then develop a focused action plan to help you address those areas.

  • Following the intensive, you will receive a written report that includes:

    • A meaningful summary of your relationship story

    • A clear articulation of your strengths as a couple

    • Your assessment results

    • Your areas of concern

    • A menu of recommended next steps and options

    This report is designed to give you clarity and direction—even beyond our time together.
