What RELATE is:

RELATE is a clinically validated assessment that helps you understand how factors in your family life, personality and values, and other factors affect your relationship quality. The assessment includes over 200 questions, after which you receive a detailed report to help you interpret your (and your partner’s) responses.

What RELATE isn’t: RELATE is not a compatibility test, or a love quiz, or a crystal ball that tries to predict the future of your relationship. You can’t “fail” RELATE, nor will we tell you to break up or stay together—only you can decide that. You can learn more about the Relate assessment here.

Benefits to taking RELATE include:

• A better understanding of your personality characteristics, including emotional health, self-esteem, and flexibility
• Insight into how your family environment and childhood may impact your later marital happiness
• The ability to compare your relationship experiences with your partner’s- including speaking and listening skills, conflict resolution styles, defensiveness, and more
• Understanding similarities and differences in values, including your views on gender roles, religion, togetherness, and more
• Easy-to-read graphs and summaries that showcase your responses and your partner’s responses so you can quickly identify trouble areas and topics for further discussion
• Interpretation suggestions and resources to help you take the next steps in improving your relationship
•  You’ll start TALKING about your relationship, equipped with real data that makes a difference

Best of all, your RELATE report delivers reliable, validated results you and your partner can trust. The scales of RELATE have reliability scores between .70 and .90 for both internal consistency and test-retest calculations. Validity results are equally impressive, with educators, clinicians, and researchers alike supporting RELATE as a sound instrument for forecasting marital satisfaction. In short, the results RELATE delivers are correct. The weaknesses the questionnaire identifies are real, but so are their remedies. We’ll help you chart a course to a happier relationship.

RELATE stands apart from the field. It isn’t a silly love quiz like many you’ll find on the Internet. But it isn’t a complex, lengthy exam that requires a PhD to understand the questions and interpret the results.

Take RELATE because:

• Questions are straightforward and easy to understand. You can complete the questionnaire in less than an hour. 
• You’ll get real details to help make your relationship better—your personalized, RELATE report will include more than 20 pages and a dozen graphs comparing your responses with your partner’s. 
• You don’t need a counselor to interpret results. Your report includes explanations and guidelines of what to do when you spot differences. If you already work with a counselor, our report can help them get a better understand of your relationship status. 
• It’s secure and entirely online. Take a few questions now, then return and log in later. Your report is available immediately after you and/or your partner complete the questions.

You can take RELATE as a couple, or as a “single partner” (partner not participating). RELATE offers questions on more areas of marital quality than its two main competitors, and at a lower price. RELATE offers excellent relationship insights regardless of your marital status—currently dating, engaged, or already married.

Whether you are in a casual or serious relationship, just dating or already married, RELATE can help you understand your relationship and get you talking. Because it covers all of the factors that are predictive of later marital quality, RELATE works for:

• People in serious dating relationships struggling with the decision to commit or break up
• Engaged couples preparing for a lasting marriage
• Newlyweds setting goals and learning to compromise
• Married couples seeking to improve their relationship and understand their conflicts

If you are in a relationship, you can take RELATE alone, or have your partner participate as well. We highly recommend that both partners take the questionnaire to achieve best results.
