Seven areas

What your report covers

Talking & Feeling Heard

How easily you share what is on your heart and feel understood.

Disagreeing & Repairing

How you handle friction and find your way back to each other.

Money as a Team

How openly and calmly you plan, spend, save and talk about money.

Family & Boundaries

How you honor where you come from while putting your marriage first.

Shared Vision & Values

How much you are building toward the same life, meaning and practices.

Closeness & Affection

How connected, cared for and comfortable you feel with each other.

Commitment & Trust

How settled and secure you feel in choosing each other for life.

Plus your expectations on roles, chores, careers, money and debt, children and parenting, faith, in-laws, intimacy, holidays and where you will live: where you line up, where the same words may hide different pictures, and the conversations to have first.

Premarital questions

Can our pastor, mentor or counselor use it with us?

Yes, if you both agree. Give your church mentor’s code or your counselor’s link, and each of you says yes on your own. A church mentor sees your shared report and a guide for walking through it, never numbers and never anything either of you kept private. Either of you can stop sharing at any time.

How does the Florida discount work?

Florida takes $32.50 off the marriage license fee and waives the 3-day waiting period when both of you complete a premarital course of at least four hours from a registered provider within the past year. Each of you gets your own certificate to bring to the clerk.

What are the "harder conversations"?

Topics engaged couples often avoid: pornography, contraception, infertility, addiction, mental-health history, sexual history, anger, screens, career sacrifice, aging parents, and debts or secrets. Each of you answers privately first, then chooses what, if anything, appears in your shared report. No details are ever asked for.

What if we come from different faith backgrounds?

Each of you chooses a lens, Faith or Values, so you can both answer honestly. Your report shows how your practices line up, and where to talk.
