Description

The Marriage Checkup Practitioner's Guide teaches clinicians how to create spaces where partners can leave the busywork of daily life behind and reenter the intimate space between them with loving attention. The Marriage Checkup (MC) is a short, two-session, assessment and feedback marital health check designed to help couples foster and deepen intimacy and confront their problems on an annual basis. The MC provides couples with feedback to help them discover new ideas about how to best serve the health of their marriage and the intimacy of their connection.
