Focus on Marriage Assessment
Based on research and experience from Dr Greg (Vice President of Family Ministries) and Erin Smalley, Focus on the Family has created valid and reliable questions that evaluate the strength of 12 essential traits of your marriage — areas such as communication, conflict, and commitment.

The assessment is free and takes about 10 minutes to complete.

Who should take the assessment?
The questions are designed for married couples. Every marriage has areas that are working well and areas that could use improvement. If you want to identify your strengths and find tools to help you grow, this assessment is for you.

How does it work?

  • Each spouse takes the free assessment individually (about 10 minutes).
  • Review your report at the end of the assessment.
  • Discuss the report with your spouse, affirm your strengths and consider ways to address weaknesses.

Testimonials

Hear from our Marriage Retreat Participants

We came to Journey to Us hoping to strengthen our marriage, and we left feeling truly equipped. The communication tools—especially the reactive cycle and practical strategies from the final session—have already given us healthier ways to talk, resolve conflict, and move forward together. This weekend has been such a gift to our growth as a couple.

Journey to Us was an eye-opening and hope-filled experience. Every session and testimony gave me practical guidance for healing and moving forward after a difficult season in our marriage. I arrived anxious, but I’m leaving hopeful—more mindful, more appreciative, and ready to listen well as God continues to restore and refresh our 25-year journey together.

We came to Journey to Us feeling broken, but we’re leaving with hope and direction. Learning about family of origin, love languages, and how our backgrounds shape our reactions has helped us understand each other’s needs and triggers far better. We now feel equipped to handle conflict in healthier ways and move forward with a deeper sense of connection.
