We designed and tested a two-week communication enrichment for couples intervention which aims to increase the provision of social support among couples. A summary of the intervention is here.

The coding manual we used to code the couples' supportive communication has been published by Jones et al. (2018).

Here are materials for the intervention:

1. Communication Skills Booklet: PDF or MsWord

2. Meditation Booklet: PDF or MsWord
