Marital Relationship Questionnaire

Adapted from RCA

While few of us find we have most of the characteristics listed below, most of us find we have a few of these characteristics. And even a few of these characteristics can hamper the happiness, harmony, and intimacy of a coupleship. Check those you think may apply.

 

The more “yes” answers, the more likely the problem is.  If you would like more information or would like a counselor to contact you, go to contact us and fill out the form. One of our counselors will contact you within 24-hours.
