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.

Truth Rising – Documentary
In a rapidly changing culture, it can be challenging for couples to know what is true, what really matters, and how to navigate the messages shaping our families and relationships.
In this thought-provoking documentary, John Stonestreet of the Colson Center and renowned author and social critic Os Guinness explore the decline of Western civilization and the confusion surrounding today’s most pressing issues. Their insights will help couples think clearly about the culture around them, stand confidently on truth, and build their marriages and families on a strong foundation.
Be encouraged to live with clarity, confidence, and conviction as you navigate today’s post-truth culture and have meaningful conversations with your spouse about the values that shape your family.
Your Free Marriage Devotional
Marriage is one of God’s most beautiful gifts – a sacred covenant that reflects His love for us and provides a haven of grace, growth, and deep connection in our lives. Yet if we’re honest, even the strongest marriages face seasons that test our commitment, challenge our patience, and require intentional investment.
Whether you’re newlyweds learning to navigate life together, seasoned couples wanting to deepen your connection, or walking through a challenging season that has you questioning how to move forward – this devotional is for you.
