WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

In couples work, it is often useful to obtain a brief estimate of how partners perceive the quality of their relationship and the extent of agreement in those perceptions. The Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire is a self-report measure intended to screen current relationship satisfaction and highlight potential areas of discord for follow-up discussion.

The instrument includes 24 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Responses can be used to support case formulation, guide clinical interviewing, and inform treatment planning by identifying domains that may warrant more detailed assessment. The Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire has been attributed to G. B. Spanier, R. B. Norton, and F. D. Fincham.
