• Short — takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
• Accessible — provides convenience for partners to complete online when they choose.
• Cost-effective — allows a couple to take THRIVE three different times within one year, at no additional charge, for one low price. These snapshots across time can be taken before, after, and as follow-up to marriage education or counseling.
• Developmental — builds on the 7 dynamics of a healthy collaborative-marriage model, tapping both process (how a couple relates) and content (what is going on) in a couple’s life together.
• Subjective — works like a mirror to reflect experience and increase awareness, giving voice to each individual’s own unique personal and relationship reality – his and her perceptions and meaning.
• Qualitative — provides a structure for guiding discovery and productive conversation – a systematic way for partners to share their own stories.
• Visual — offers the right-brain visualization of wholeness (patterns and connections) with the left-brain attention to important details (individual nodes). You see a multi-dimensional view – both the forest and the trees on one page. Results are displayed on three separate sphere-charts. You literally "see the relationship" from his, hers, and their perspectives.
• Insightful — shows a wealth of rich information in an easy-to-use format, displayed as "matches, gaps and trends," highlighting relationship strengths (resources) and challenges (areas to develop). Couples can see where they are and where they would like to be.
• Actionable — stimulates couples to choose next steps for growing their relationship.
• Measurable — helps partners (and facilitator) to benchmark the couple's relationship and monitor progress – capturing change and growth outcomes.
