Healthy relationships aren't built on luck — they're built on intentional effort, on both sides. Research on relational hope suggests that people with active, hope-focused planning tend to resolve conflict more constructively (Shimshock & Le, 2022). This Relationship Hope Check looks at *your own* motivation and route-finding in your closest connection — not your partner's, not the relationship's fate, just your side of it.

An informal reflective exercise adapted from Snyder's Hope Theory and the Adult Hope Scale. Not a validated psychological instrument, not a diagnosis, and not medical advice.
Will this test tell me if my relationship will work out?
No — it can't and doesn't predict outcomes. It reflects *your own* motivation and sense of workable routes in the relationship right now, not a forecast of what will happen.
Is there hope for my relationship if I score low?
A lower score isn't a verdict on the relationship — it reflects where your own drive or route-finding feels stretched right now, which is common during a hard patch and can shift with small, deliberate effort.
Does this measure my partner too, or just me?
Just you. It's a self-reflection on your own agency and pathways thinking in the relationship — not a couple's assessment or a measure of your partner's feelings.
Is this couples therapy or relationship counseling?
No. It's a short, informal reflection tool, not therapy or counseling, and it isn't a substitute for either if you and your partner want that kind of support.
