The MSI-R is a multidimensional questionnaire designed to assess the affective and functional aspects of a marital relationship. It identifies areas of satisfaction and dissatisfaction in the relationship, such as communication, conflict, sexuality, finances, and other domains essential to the couple.

Scoring & interpretation
Each item is rated on a Likert-type scale (often true to rarely true). The scores are organized into several subscales. The results are interpreted by comparing each subscale with norms to identify areas of difficulty or satisfaction, thereby facilitating the planning of therapeutic interventions.
