Romantic relationships are typically recognized as one of the strongest forms of social support and are associated with both physical and psychological benefits, says one article in Frontiers in Psychiatry. In patients with psychosis, research has indicated that those involved in romantic relationships saw better outcomes in their treatment. Conversely, lower levels of relationship satisfaction are often associated with higher depressive symptoms, suggesting a link between relationship status and mental health and underscoring the importance of identifying issues.
Developed in 1988, the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) measures general relationship satisfaction and is appropriate for married, cohabiting, engaged, or dating couples. The scale has been validated with reliable psychometric properties, and its results are known to correlate with love, marital satisfaction, sexual attitudes, and investment. Mission Connection offers a modified version of the instrument on its website, allowing individuals to accurately gauge their feelings about their current relationship.
The self-reporting tool consists of 10 short multiple-choice questions that ask individuals about general happiness, satisfaction with intimacy levels, and communication and understanding between both parties. They will also be questioned about their feelings on conflict resolution, mutual support towards personal growth and goals, and sense of security. Finally, the test-taker will be prompted to contemplate how much they enjoy engaging in bond-strengthening activities with their partner.
Should individuals determine that they are unhappy with their current relationship, Mission Connection strongly recommends addressing any issues with the help of a licensed professional to improve their emotional well-being. Such services are offered at the company's treatment centers and include talk therapy, relationship counseling, and other modalities that can help dissatisfied couples work towards fostering positive changes in the relationship.
"Open communication, active listening, and a willingness to understand each other's perspectives can contribute to healthier dynamics and a more fulfilling relationship," says a spokesperson for the treatment center. "With effort and commitment, positive changes are possible, leading to greater satisfaction."
