When life becomes stressful, the effects do not always stay contained to the things causing the stress.

You may come home with less patience, find it harder to be fully present, put off conversations because you do not have the energy for them, or notice yourself wanting more space from your partner. Over time, small changes like these can begin affecting how connected a relationship feels.

Is Stress Creating Distance in Your Relationship? is a short assessment designed to help you understand whether the stress and demands you’re currently carrying may be affecting the way you’re able to connect with your partner.

You’ll reflect on everyday experiences such as attention, patience, communication, emotional availability, affection, and withdrawal. Your result will help you recognize how much stress appears to be showing up in your relationship and where it may be useful to pay closer attention.

This assessment does not evaluate the health of your relationship or tell you what your relationship should look like. It focuses specifically on whether stress may be changing the way you’re currently able to show up and connect.
