Are you serious about a healthy, happy marriage?  It's only a happy marriage based on what both spouses put into it.  Learn the 13 essentials to a happy marriage, then take our DMK Marriage Essentials Test to determine the health of your marriage.  

How it works

Every marriage should have an acceptable portion of each marriage essential on the list.   "Acceptable" portions are based on the strength of the marriage and how each spouse values the importance of these essentials.

The levels can vary over the years. It's important that each spouse has awareness of the other and practices good communication skills that can indicate when levels change.  For instance, following the birth of a child, the couple will experience a drastic reduction in multiple essential needs while other needs will assume a significant increase.  Years later, those needs will have drastically changed once again.
