QMI
Quality of Marriage Index (QMI)
The QMI is a brief self-report instrument measuring the overall quality of the marital relationship. It is widely used in research and clinical practice to detect the level of marital satisfaction and to screen for couples at risk of relationship distress. It targets one partner's subjective perception of the general quality of their marriage.
