The Center for Couples and Family Research at Clark University  is a team clinical research effort consisting of faculty, doctoral and undergraduate students.

Our goal is to produce cutting-edge research on intimate relationships and on the development of focused interventions to promote relationship and marital health.

This site offers information for couples interested in participating with us in our work, as well as for others who share the goal of understanding and improving intimate relationships.

The Marriage Checkup is not therapy, but an informational health service that provides confidential, personalized feedback designed to help you keep your relationship on track.  The Marriage Checkup was being offered for free at Clark University as part of a clinical study funded by the National Institute for Child Health & Human Development (NICHD). As of this writing, recruitment is closed.
