INVEST Marriage Stay connected

The study

Practical Tools

We’re so happy you’ve chosen to journey through INVEST. This curriculum provides practical tools to foster deeper connection and build a resilient, thriving relationship. Throughout the sessions, you will use these tools on paper and in the INVEST app. The workbook always carries the essential teaching and conversation; the app adds personalized results, guided practice, saved responses, and reminders.

The INVEST Marriage app supports both the INVEST Marriage and INVEST Engaged workbooks. It is launching on the Apple App Store and Google Play. You can complete the essential work on paper; the app extends it without replacing face-to-face conversation.
