Marriage.Reset™ | Marriage.Family.Therapy
A progressive beginning: enough information to help your therapist make the next useful clinical decision, with room for each partner to answer privately.

Marriage.Reset client sign-in01 | Understand
When your couple is enrolled in Marriage.Reset, each partner receives their own secure account. You complete the assessment individually. Your partner does the same.
This matters because people do not always experience the same relationship in the same way. Marriage.Reset allows each person to answer privately rather than requiring partners to negotiate a shared answer while sitting next to each other.
The starting assessment is intentionally progressive rather than exhaustive.
For most people, the initial assessment is approximately 30–32 questions. The system can ask additional questions when more information would help clarify an important area. Under normal circumstances, the assessment is capped at 49 questions. Clinically necessary safety follow-up may extend beyond that limit.
A common foundation. Different follow-up.
Two couples may enter therapy with completely different needs. Trying to give every couple exactly the same assessment can create a lot of information without necessarily creating clarity. Marriage.Reset instead begins with a common foundation and then follows the evidence. If something appears important—or remains uncertain—the assessment can explore it further.
One couple may already have a strong commitment to the relationship but struggle with recurring conflict. Another may have unresolved betrayal.
Another may be emotionally disconnected. Another may be uncertain whether they want to remain together.
Where is the relationship heading? What is creating the greatest strain right now?
Are there active injuries or unresolved experiences that need attention before skill-building will be useful? What patterns appear to be maintaining the problem?
Where might change create the greatest benefit? And do we currently have enough information to make a responsible recommendation?
The clinical architecture specifically uses the initial assessment to help understand relationship direction, identify high-priority actionable bottlenecks, and determine whether enough evidence exists to recommend the next steps.
If an area has not been adequately assessed, Marriage.Reset treats it as unknown rather than assuming that nothing is wrong. Internally, the model distinguishes between information that is unknown, screened, measured, supported with higher confidence, and observed longitudinally over time.
Marriage.Reset is specifically designed not to convert missing information into an assumption that everything is fine. When there is insufficient evidence, an area can remain unknown. The system can then gather more information later if it becomes relevant. This allows recommendations to be based on what is actually known rather than on an artificial need to produce an answer.
Two private voices. One relationship.
Marriage.Reset treats the relationship as the unit of care, while recognizing that two individuals are contributing different experiences to that relationship. It is intentionally designed so couple-facing information does not compare one partner against the other, and private partner responses remain private.
Marriage.Reset does not create a public Partner A versus Partner B scorecard.
Your therapist may have access to clinically appropriate information needed to provide care, but the client experience is designed to help the two of you understand the relationship rather than determine who “scored better.”
Marriage.Reset is not a competition.
Some information cannot responsibly be handled like an ordinary relationship score. When an answer raises a clinically meaningful safety concern, Marriage.Reset can ask additional private questions. Those questions may occur even when the ordinary assessment would otherwise be finished.
Safety information may also require direct clinical review before other portions of the Marriage.Reset experience continue.
Relationships contain uncertainty. Marriage.Reset is specifically designed not to convert missing information into an assumption that everything is fine. When there is insufficient evidence, an area can remain unknown.
The system can then gather more information later if it becomes relevant. This allows recommendations to be based on what is actually known rather than on an artificial need to produce an answer.
Enough information, not artificial certainty
When there is enough information, Marriage.Reset can help identify up to three useful directions for treatment.
There do not have to be three. If only one area is sufficiently supported, one may be appropriate.
Assessment information is considered alongside your therapist's clinical judgment, your conversations in therapy, your history, your goals, and what is happening in your lives.
If more information is needed, the system should not pretend certainty.
The model intentionally applies safety and readiness considerations before moving to treatment recommendations, and it is designed not to force recommendations simply to fill a list.
Marriage.Reset is a clinical decision-support process, not an automatic therapist.
The beginning of care, not the end
Frequently asked questions
Both partners begin from the same clinical framework, but Marriage.Reset is progressive. Follow-up questions can differ depending on what additional information is needed.
The program is specifically designed to keep private partner responses private and to avoid Partner A versus Partner B comparisons in the shared client experience.
The typical target is approximately 30–32 questions. The ordinary ceiling is 49 questions. Clinically necessary safety questions may extend beyond that ceiling.
No. It may help your clinician better understand relationship direction, uncertainty, readiness, injuries, and treatment needs, but it is not an automated decision about the future of your relationship.
No. It is designed to support and organize relationship treatment with your clinician.
Not necessarily. Marriage.Reset intentionally separates completion from demonstrated progress.
No. Ongoing measurement is designed to be more focused and relevant to current treatment rather than repeatedly recreating the entire intake.
No. Marriage.Reset uses M.F.T.-authored clinical measures. They should not be described as independently validated standardized instruments unless future validation establishes that.
Begin with Marriage.Family.Therapy
You do not need to understand everything about your relationship before asking for help.
Marriage.Reset is currently part of care through Marriage.Family.Therapy.
Your care team initiates the relationship in Marriage.Reset and each partner receives their own secure invitation. Public self-enrollment is intentionally not part of the model.
Marriage.Reset was created to help us build that understanding with you—carefully, progressively, and without pretending to know things we have not yet learned.
It is not an anonymous public assessment where anyone creates an account and receives automated relationship advice.
