Will my partner read what I have said?

The content of the Enduring Love? study couple interviews will obviously be known to both of you. For both the Enduring Love? study and Paired evaluation, material discussed in individual interviews, partners will only be able to read what you’ve said if you show it to them.

We will offer you a transcribed copy of your interviews and this will be sent directly to you. We would ordinarily post out transcripts to your home address, with the name clearly marked on the envelope. However, if you would prefer to have your transcript sent somewhere other than the home address – for instance, to a friend, work colleague or to a centre or group meeting place, we will happily do so. Just let us know at the interview. Some couples may choose to share their accounts, while for others they remain very private. There is no right or wrong way of doing this; you should simply do what feels right for you.
