The Marriage Inventory: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Breakfast
What exactly is The Marriage Inventory?
The Marriage Inventory is a printed relationship workbook designed to guide structured, honest conversation between spouses. Each partner receives their own identical copy, completes it privately, and then exchanges responses to facilitate meaningful discussion.
Is this therapy?
No. The Marriage Inventory is not therapy, counseling, or a substitute for professional mental health services. It is a structured communication tool designed to help couples reflect and talk intentionally. If you are experiencing serious marital distress, abuse, or crisis, we encourage seeking licensed professional support.
How does it work?
- Select your modules.
- Receive two identical printed booklets by mail.

Is this digital?

Will anyone see our answers?

What modules are included?

- Communication

Additional modules can be added to explore areas such as finances, parenting, intimacy, conflict patterns, and more.
What if my spouse doesn’t want to participate?
The Marriage Inventory works best when both partners are willing participants. We recommend discussing the purpose and intention beforehand so expectations are aligned.
Is this for couples in crisis?
The Marriage Inventory can support honest conversation, but it is not designed to replace professional counseling in cases of severe marital breakdown, abuse, addiction, or mental health concerns.
Can this make things worse?
Honest conversations can sometimes feel uncomfortable. We encourage couples to approach the discussion with patience, respect, and a willingness to listen. If discussions escalate or feel unsafe, pause and consider professional guidance.

Is this religious or faith-based?
The core inventory is not religious in nature. Optional modules may explore values or spiritual alignment depending on selections.
