Marriage MentorsWhen was the last time you gave your marriage a "Tune Up or Check up"? You do it for many other important items in your life..your car...your health. With Couple Checkup, you will invest $29.95 to take this assessment. The return on that $29.95......might be the best investment in your marriage!!! As soon as you finish, the analysis will be sent to you with a discussion guide to help you in your evaluation/discussion. If you choose, you can have the results e-mailed to your pastor or counselor.

Three goals of Couple Checkup

  1. One goal is to celebrate your relationship strengths!
  2. Another is to identify issues you disagree on and need to resolve.
  3. Third is to encourage you as a couple to talk about your relationship.

Your results will indicate whether your relationship is:

Vitalized-Harmonious-Conventional-Conflicted or Devitalized. Types defined at bottom**

What "type" of a relationship do you think you have? Wouldn't you want to know? Of the couples who have taken the Couple Checkup: 1/3 are vitalized or harmonious, 1/3 are conventional, 1/3 are conflicted or devitalized

If for some reason, you are in the conflicted or devitalized classification....please share these results with your pastor, counselor or contact The Gathering and ask for a Marriage Mentor. Even if you are in the other classifications, it is good to share the results with a Marriage Mentor. The Gathering is a partner in the Palm Beach County Healthy Marriage Initiative. It is our desire to lower the existing 62.4% divorce rate in Palm Beach County. You are encouraged to take this valid and reliable assessment tool: Couple Checkup.

Couple Types as defined by taking Couple Checkup

  • Vitalized couples are typically most satisfied with their relationship, skilled in communication and conflict resolution.
  • Harmonious couples also enjoy high levels of satisfaction across most areas of their relationship.
  • Conventional couples are often highly committed to one another, but not as skilled in communication and conflict resolution.
  • Conflicted couples have a lower level of satisfaction and often struggle with many areas of their relationship.
  • Devitalized couples have the lowest satisfaction and have growth areas in almost all aspects of their relationship.

Good News: Studies have shown that couples can improve their couple type by improving their relationship skills, such as communication and conflict resolution.
