- RELATIONSHIP STUDY NEEDS PARTICIPANTS
Our study is looking at the possible link between relationship distress, adult attachment, and attitudes towards seeking professional help. The anonymous survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete and after completing the survey, participants have the choice to enter for a chance to win one of our Amazon gift cards. If they chose to enter for one of the gift cards, their survey responses will not be able to be connected back to them in any way.  Please forward this to anyone that might help.

Here is the survey link:

It is my belief if we provide better premarital counseling to more people, we can decrease the divorce rate that is destroying far too many families in this great country we love. Please join me in this small step to save our marriages and families
