Relationship Satisfaction Score

Estimate relationship satisfaction based on communication, trust, shared time, and conflict frequency.

Relationship Satisfaction Score

Estimate the health of a close relationship from communication, trust, time, and conflict.

Input your relationship data

Formula

Satisfaction score combines communication, trust, normalized shared time, and a penalty for conflict frequency, then scales results to 0–100 for easier interpretation.

Connection index emphasizes trust and shared time as key predictors of relationship closeness.

These are heuristic formulas for self-reflection and conversation, not clinical or diagnostic tools.

Steps

  • Rate the quality of communication with your partner or key relationship (0–10).
  • Rate your overall trust level in this relationship (0–10).
  • Estimate hours per week spent in shared, meaningful activities (not just co-existing in the same room).
  • Estimate number of notable conflicts or arguments in an average month.
  • Review the satisfaction score, connection index, and suggestions.

Four Pillars of Relationship Health

Communication, trust, shared experiences, and conflict style all interact to shape how safe and connected a relationship feels. Small improvements in any pillar can shift the whole system.

The Role of Shared Time

Quantity is not everything, but consistent, high-quality shared time creates opportunities for laughter, intimacy, and repair that cannot happen through logistics alone.

Healthy vs. Harmful Conflict

Disagreement is normal; contempt, stonewalling, and repeated unresolved fights are warning signs. Learning gentler conflict tools can protect both people in the long run.

Using Scores for Conversation, Not Blame

Share your reflections as observations (“I notice…”) and hopes (“I would love…”) rather than accusations. The goal is to understand each other, not to win a debate.

When to Seek Support

If patterns feel stuck, or if anyone feels unsafe, a couples therapist, counselor, or mediator can provide tools, boundaries, and a neutral space for dialogue.

Conclusion

Relationships do not improve through guesswork alone. Simple, honest reflection—paired with compassionate conversation and support—can keep strong connections thriving and help struggling ones heal.

FAQs

What kind of relationship is this for?

The calculator is designed for close relationships—romantic partners, very close friends, or family members. Use one entry per relationship for clarity.

Is this a replacement for couples therapy?

No. It provides a structured reflection but cannot replace professional guidance for serious issues like abuse, betrayal, or chronic distress.

Why track shared activities?

Time spent in shared, engaging activities is a core predictor of relationship satisfaction and resilience.

How should I count conflicts?

Count disagreements that feel emotionally significant or recurring, not tiny everyday differences of opinion.

What is a “good” satisfaction score?

Scores above ~70 usually reflect solid, if imperfect, relationships in this heuristic model. Lower scores flag areas for conversation or support.

Can two people fill this out separately?

Yes, and comparing results can be a powerful starting point for compassionate dialogue (ideally with ground rules).

What is the connection index?

The connection index combines trust and shared activities into a single number that reflects emotional and practical closeness.

How often should we re-check?

Monthly, or after major changes such as moving, having a child, job shifts, or conflict spikes.

Does a low score mean the relationship should end?

Not necessarily. It signals that attention, support, or change is needed. Many relationships improve significantly when both people work on patterns.

Is this anonymous?

The calculator itself does not store data; how you save or share results is up to you.
