A difficult month at work, less time together, illness or a long-running disagreement can affect how connected two people feel without necessarily defining the relationship as a whole. The Relationship Check-In Tool gives you a simple way to record how several areas feel right now and compare those snapshots over time. ## Relationship Check-In Rate how the relationship has felt recently. Entries stay on this device.

The tool calculates a simple average for each saved entry so you can see whether your overall check-in is moving up, down or staying fairly steady. ## How to use the check-in 1. Choose the date for the check-in. 2. Rate each area from 1 to 5 based on the recent period you want to review. 3. Add a note about one issue, strength or conversation you want to remember. 4. Save the entry. 5. Return weekly or monthly and compare your recent entries instead of relying only on memory. ## How to interpret changes A lower score in one area does not automatically mean there is a serious problem. It may show a temporary pressure point. Look for patterns. If communication stays low across several check-ins, that tells you more than one difficult evening. If affection or sexual connection changes while stress rises, that context matters too. The check-in works best when you use the ratings as prompts for conversation. Ask what improved, what became harder and what one realistic change might help before the next check-in. Avoid turning the history into a performance report for your partner. ## Privacy Your saved check-ins stay on your device. We do not send them to an external service. Regular check-ins can make small changes easier to notice before they become recurring frustrations. The goal is not perfect scores. The goal is a clearer picture of how the relationship feels and what deserves attention. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What does the Relationship Check-In Tool track? It tracks eight areas including communication, trust, affection, sexual connection, quality time, support, independence and fun. ### How often should we use it? Weekly or monthly use can make patterns easier to see. Choose a schedule that feels useful rather than turning the check-in into an obligation. ### Does a low score mean the relationship is unhealthy? No. A single low rating may reflect temporary stress or a specific issue. Repeated patterns and the context behind them matter more. ### Can both partners use the same tool? Yes. You can complete it together or separately, but saved entries on the same device will appear in the same history. ### Is my history sent anywhere? No. Your saved check-ins stay on your device. We do not send them to an external service. ### How do I delete saved check-ins? Use the Delete History control in the tool. This removes the saved history from the current device. ### Is this a relationship-health diagnosis? No. It is a self-reflection and conversation tool, not a clinical or psychological assessment.
