Summary
Healthy marital functioning and satisfaction can be hard to maintain for married couples with a partner in the military. This study assessed relationship strengths, identified relationship health concerns, and provided feedback for how couples can improve their relationship health by using the Marriage Checkup intervention which was designed to be similar to other existing health checkups. The one-month follow-up data showed significant improvements in marital health post Marriage Checkup.
