About this assessment

Inspired by John Gottman's decades of research into what separates couples who last from those who dissolve, fused with the PREPARE/ENRICH framework clinicians use in premarital and couples work, this 42-item assessment maps the six functional systems that determine how a partnership holds up under real conditions: how you actually communicate, how you repair after a fight, how much real closeness you sustain, how aligned you are on the life you want, how you handle money, and how much trust runs between you. Instead of rating chemistry or surface preferences, it asks about the specific behaviors and the private inner experiences that research consistently ties to relationship stability — the things people recognize in themselves but rarely say out loud. Every subscale mixes items where the flattering answer is obvious with reverse-keyed items where it isn't, so the picture you get back reflects your real patterns rather than the version you'd present on a first date. Your results map your strengths and your growth edges across all six systems, with reflective guidance for each. This is an educational and self-reflective tool, not a diagnosis or a verdict on your relationship.
