What is the Marital Counseling worksheet?

The marital counseling worksheet is a fifteen-question grid with a Partner A column and a Partner B column, so each answer sits beside its counterpart. Questions run from listing three strengths in your relationship to expectations regarding finances and financial decision-making. The sheet asks partners to answer independently first.

How to use the Marital Counseling worksheet

Use this sheet both in session and as homework. The instructions ask that both partners complete the worksheet independently and then discuss their responses, so hand out two copies rather than one shared sheet. Your clients can fill the columns at home, which keeps the first reading of a partner’s answer inside the room. In session, start with List three strengths in your relationship. The later expectations questions land better once the pair has agreed on something.
