TL;DR: The RCI-10 (Religious Commitment Inventory-10) as mentioned in this paper was developed for 6 studies and used in 6 studies with a sample size of 155, 132, and 150 college students; 240 Christian church-attending married adults; 468 undergraduates including (among others) Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, and non-religious (n = 117).

TL;DR: Worthington et al. as discussed by the authors reported a clinical trial (N = 43 couples) that compared a hope-focused marital enrichment with empathy-centered forgiveness-based marital enrichment and a wait-list control group.

TL;DR: Forgiveness can be promoted successfully in varying degrees as discussed by the authors, and many accounts of research on promoting forgiveness in group settings have been published, indicating that forgiveness can be successfully promoted successfully.

TL;DR: For example, this paper found that couples receiving enrichment counseling had higher relationship satisfaction and quality-of-couple skills at posttest and at the 3-week follow-up than did written-assessment-only (control) couples.

TL;DR: The Hope-Focused Approach to couple enrichment was presented as two 9-hr interventions--(a) Handling The authors' Problems Effectively (HOPE), which emphasized communication and conflict resolution, and (b) Forgiveness and Reconciliation through Experiencing Empathy (FREE).
