Therefore, individuals who are unable to read study materials in English are not eligible to participate.

Exclusion Criteria

One or both members of the couple has an active or poorly controlled serious mental illness (e.g., psychotic disorder), cognitive impairment (e.g., dementia), or medical condition (e.g., significant impaired sight/hearing) that would compromise participation.

The couple is currently in active couples (e.g., marital) therapy together. Participants who are physically or mentally too ill to participate or those with major cognitive impairments are excluded because they may not be able to engage with intervention sessions, surveys. No exclusions will be made based on sexual orientation, race, gender, or other sociodemographic features. Because patients with mCRC are living longer, and patients and partners can experience distress at various times since their diagnosis, we do not limit participation by time since diagnosis.
