What it is
Not Therapy.
A starting point
The Relationship Checkup is a structured assessment experience — not a therapy session. Think of it the way you think about a health check-up: a clear, honest, professional evaluation of where things stand today.
Using validated tools from the Gottman Institute, both partners complete individual questionnaires. A trained clinician then guides you through a focused review session, uncovering your relationship’s real strengths and growth opportunities.
- Evidence-based — grounded in 40+ years of couples research
- Non-judgmental — you’re assessed, never blamed
- Actionable — you leave with a written plan, not just observations
“ Think of it as a physical — but for your relationship.”
Who it’s for
Couples at every stage. Not just in crisis.
The Relationship Checkup is designed for any couple willing to invest in what they have. You don’t need to be struggling to benefit — most couples who get the most from it come in when things are going well.
Newly committed
You want to build on a strong foundation and understand each other’s needs before life gets complicated.
Preparing for marriage
You’re engaged and want to enter marriage with a clear picture of your strengths and the areas to work on together.
Navigating parenthood
A new baby has shifted everything. You want to stay close and connected even as the demands on both of you grow.
After a difficult season
You’ve been through something hard — conflict, distance, or a rupture — and want clarity on what to do next.
Empty nest or retirement
Life has changed and you’re rediscovering who you are as a couple. You want support for this new chapter.
Simply investing in us
You’re doing well and want to stay that way. A proactive check-in to invest in the relationship you already love.

What you receive
A complete picture.
In writing.
After your session you’ll receive a personalized written report — not a generic summary, but a document shaped entirely by your results.
Your report includes
Relationship Profile
A detailed picture of your relationship across six key dimensions — friendship, conflict, commitment, trust, shared meaning, and intimacy — grounded in Gottman research.
Growth Opportunities
The specific areas where targeted attention will have the greatest positive impact. Named directly and honestly, so you know exactly where to focus.
Clinician Recommendations
Expert guidance on whether couples therapy, a workshop, a second Checkup, or simply a set of practices best fits where you are right now.
Identified Strengths
A clear summary of what’s already working well in your relationship. These are the assets you can actively build on and return to when things get hard.
Personalized Roadmap
A written, research-backed plan with concrete next steps tailored to your unique results — not a template, but a plan that belongs to your relationship.
Curated Resources
Books, exercises, and practices matched specifically to your profile — things you can start using the day you leave.
What happens next
The Checkup is a beginning, not an end.
You’re in great shape
Many couples finish the Checkup feeling re-energized and clear. Your roadmap gives you the tools to keep growing on your own — or you book a check-in once a year.
You’d benefit from support
Your clinician recommends a short course of couples therapy or a workshop. You’ll have a clear referral, matched to your profile and schedule.
Something needs more attention
In some cases, the Checkup reveals a specific challenge — affair recovery, discernment, or individual work. Your clinician will guide you to exactly the right resource.
