RINGS Experience Relationship Assessment

Your relationship appears to be DEVITALIZED

• Your total score was lower than 180 (Check your email for specific scoring for each category)
• You are in the lowest tier of 5 relationship health groupings:
  1. Vitalized - VIEW
  2. Connected - VIEW
  3. Coexistent - VIEW
  4. Conflicted - VIEW
  5. Devitalized

DEVITALIZED couples generally experience most areas needing significant growth in order for satisfaction to increase. Relationship intruders MUST be eliminated or experience professional treatment. Partners often feel miserable, hopeless, inadequate, and negative about their relationship. Blaming, contempt, sarcasm, and withdrawal happen frequently. Negative totally eclipse positives.

​Color Key
The following colors correlate with the 4 main sections in The RINGS Experience (our main program for strengthening couple relationships) and 3 Relationship satisfaction, realism and intrusion categories.

• Knowing who you are - Strengths and growth edges; Commitment; Personalities; Family trees
• Mastering communication skills - Asserting and listening; Transparency; Connecting daily
• Dealing with real life - Stress; Anger; Forgiveness; Conflict
• Moving forward together - Managing finances; Leaving a legacy

------------------------------

• Relationship Satisfaction - General positive feelings about overall relationship
• Relationship Realism - Absence of agreeing with absolute and unrealistic statements
• Relationship Intruders - Absence of issues with addictions, affairs, abuse, mental illness

Categories Explanation

• Maximum scores for any category will be 20. 
• For all categories, the higher the scores, the better. Excellent = 19, 20; Above average = 17, 18; Average = 15, 16; Below average = 13, 14; Poor = 12 and below
• Relationship realism refers to how realistic your responses are, drawing upon 4 embedded statements that are intentionally absolute and unrealistic like "My partner and I always understand each other completely." Even the healthiest of relationships will experience occasional "speed bumps". Agreeing with any of these 4 statements will have a slight lowering effect on your overall score. The higher the score, the better.
• Relationship intruders is a negative category, so it is reverse scored. It tests for the presence of or concerns with 4 intruders: addictions, affairs, abuse, and mental health issues. The higher the score, the better.
