have?
Two sentences.

The way it's written, it should have a period (an imperative sentence should end with a period unless its emphatic). The subject is "you" (understood) and the verb is "state", so the simple sentence is: "you state", which is not a question or an exclamation.
I'm not sure what the question is for, but I would seriously consider re-wording it. It would be far too easy to answer with a simple, "good" or "average". I think what you are wanting the respondent to do is "With honesty and clarity, describe your marriage." This type of open-ended question 'forces' the respondent to use more than one or two words.

If you leave the sentence the way it is then you need to use a period.
State with honesty and clarity what type of marriage you have.
If you want to use a question mark you have to change the sentence around a bit.
What type of marriage do you have? Please answer honestly and clearly.

Use a period. You are asking them to make a statement. It isn't a question.
You could also phrase it as this:
Honestly and clearly state what type of marriage you have.

It is asking you for a statement so you would not end it with a question mark. It doesn't show excitement so it would not end with an exclamation point, the only logical answer would be a period.

The way you wrote it, you would use a period at the end. You're telling them to do something (state this information), so it's not technically a question and doesn't need a question mark.
