Marriage Readiness Check
Are you ready for the marriage, not just the wedding?
20 short statements, about 3 minutes. Answer for yourself, honestly. You'll see where you're already strong, where to start, and the conversation to have tonight.
From Andrew and Melissa. We're both clinical psychologists, and we still almost didn't make it. We're not preaching from an ivory tower. We still sometimes screw this up. So this check comes from our marriage as much as from our training.
Heal what you bringThe skills that make your marriage a safe place for old wounds
Build what you dreamThe hope that keeps you going, together
- 1Know yourself. The story you bring and your triggers
- 2Understand each other. Empathy as a skill
- 3Talk well. How you talk, and talking about how you talk
- 4Fight well. Repair, and the pursue and withdraw pattern
- 5Build the future. Foundation, hope and vision
A reflection exercise, not a psychological test or a diagnosis. There are no wrong answers.
