Method evidence record

ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale

The ENRICH (Enriching Relationships: Issues, Communication, Happiness) program is a comprehensive couple assessment and enrichment system developed by David Olson that includes multiple relationship assessment tools. The ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale is a subset of the full ENRICH Couple Inventory and measures couple satisfaction across key relationship domains. Widely used in premarital counseling, relationship enrichment programs, and couple therapy, the ENRICH approach assesses both relationship strengths and areas for improvement, positioning it as both diagnostic and developmentally focused.
