Scaling Questions

T:  On a number of 1 to 10, where 10 stands for you have every confidence that this marriage will make it and 1 stands for the opposite, that we might just as well walk away right now and it’s not going to work.  What number would you give your marriage? 

W:   (she thinks about it a long time)  I would say I am at 1.1.

T:   (Surprised)  So, what makes it a 1.1?

W:   I guess it’s because we are both here tonight.
