PRIMARY outcome

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Pre (0 weeks), Mid (3 weeks), and Post (approximately 6 weeks)

Relationship confidence as measured by 2 items from the Confidence Scale ("I believe we can handle whatever conflicts will arise in the future" and "I feel good about our prospects to make this relationship work"). Scored ranged from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicate more confidence.Cronbach's alpha = .88. These two items have been used in previous studies of couples to assess change (e.g., http://dx.doi .org/10.1177/0192513X08324388).
