Book Description

Publication Date: August 27, 2002

"The Marriage Checkup" provides a perfect tuneup for all married couples: those happily so, those who seldom think about their marriage and those who simply deny that problems exist and never discuss possible ways to improve the way they relate to one another. This interactive tool includes a marriage history, communication inventory, marital satisfaction assessment and much more! This is more than another how-to marriage book. It's an interactive journey that helps couples diagnose the health of their marriage, test their marriage with a self-guided quiz and tools to show them the strengths and weaknesses of their marriage.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good advice regarding communication ..., January 15, 2003

This review is from: The Marriage Checkup (Paperback)

The book and available questionnaire booklet are interesting, and are developed to be done as a couple. However, if only one spouse feels the need to take an assessment of the marriage, this book and questionnaire should be able to be done solo. There are a number of assessments and "take away" questions that will cause you to think about things you do every day in your marriage, and a lot of those items apply equally to friendships as well. The questionnaire has a lot of detail, including questions such as where you first met, length of courtship, listing children, whether the children live in the house, etc. Working on these kinds of questions as a couple help you look at where you have been as a couple, and possibly help you start discussing what direction you would like your marriage to progress in. The book has good advice regarding communicating with each other, and names some the destructive forces that could be working in your relationship. There are scripture references in the book to guide people building a firmer foundation in their marriage.

This review is from: The Marriage Checkup (Paperback)

As a pastor, I have used this test as a valuable part of marriage counseling. I usually administer the assessement to both spouses and then set-up counseling sessions based on what was revealved. It is very accurate! It helps get to the root problems and skim past the surface level. This would be a wonderful resource for a counselor, pastor, or couple just wanting to improve their marriage.
