Start assessment

A couples app to build a stronger relationship

Portrait of Murat Yön Developed by Murat Yön, clinical psychologist and couples therapist

You are not in a bad place, but something is missing and you do not know where to start. Couples Wellness is a couples program that orders steps on communication, trust and closeness by your answers.

First a free 4–5 minute assessment, then a 12‑step plan ordered for you.

If one of these sentences is yours

  • "We're not bad, but something is missing; we don't know where to start."
  • "We want to do something about it, but don't know how to even bring it up."
  • "Every time we try to talk, we end up in the same place."

Sentences we hear often; not user reviews.

What is inside

Daily questions can start a conversation. The program gives you more to work with: listening skills, conflict repair, emotional connection and ways to express your needs. Your assessment suggests where to begin, so you do not have to choose your starting point from a long list of topics.

Topics covered in this section

  • Communication and deep empathy

    Active listening, the language of feelings and needs; getting out of "you don't understand me".

  • Conflict and emotion regulation

    Not repeating the same fight; recognizing the moment you flood.

  • Trust, loyalty and jealousy

    How trust is built, and how it is repaired once shaken.

  • Emotional and physical intimacy

    The dimensions of closeness, touch, desire and romance.

  • Money, time, family, parenting

    Where everyday life wears a relationship down; boundaries and sharing.

  • Write apart, talk together

    In sessions you answer the personal questions on your own phone and those answers stay with you; at the comparison step you read them to each other if you are both ready. With the daily question, answers open together once you have both written.

A sample exercise from the program: a gratitude inventory on two phones

This session is for trying specific, sincere appreciation of your partner; it does not suit everyone equally and is never forced. Each of you writes an inventory on your own phone; those answers stay with you and are not shared automatically. Afterwards, if you like, you tell each other one item you choose.

  1. On your own phone, write three things your partner does that make you laugh or feel better.
  2. Add three qualities they bring to the relationship that you often do not notice.
  3. Write one sentence about something in your life that exists because of them.
  4. On a day you choose, take about two minutes to name a behavior you noticed and what it meant to you, rather than a general "thanks".
  5. At the comparison step, if you both freely want to, read each other one item you choose from your inventory.

You do not have to show the whole list, find something new every day or keep talking; either of you may skip or stop. If there is violence, threat or fear in the relationship, safety comes first; do not do this exercise, and contact a professional or a helpline.

Abridged from the “Daily Gratitude Practice” session (Gratitude & Appreciation module) in the app.

How it works

  1. Relationship assessment (4–5 minutes, free)

    25–30 questions that adapt to answers such as your relationship status, how long you have been together and whether you have children; nothing irrelevant to your relationship is asked. No sign-up needed.

  2. A twelve-step plan

    The assessment suggests which modules to start with; as in the sample plan, if screens and time come first it may open with Relationships in the Digital Age. Create your Couples Wellness account to save your plan and continue in the app.

  3. Two phones, one subscription

    You invite your partner from the app; once you are linked, the same subscription opens for both of you. Each of you moves at your own pace on your own phone, and the same account works in the browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the assessment cost anything?

No. Completing the relationship assessment and seeing your 12-step plan are free. Moving on to the sessions in your plan that are part of the subscription needs a paid Couples Wellness subscription; one subscription takes in your linked partner too. Sexual Wellness, a separate app, is not part of it. Current options are on the pricing page.

Can I do it alone if my partner doesn't want to?

Yes. Most of the program can be done by one person; the readings, personal questions and most exercises do not need a partner. Your partner joins by invitation whenever they want, and from then on you can answer the daily question together.

Will my partner see my answers?

Your assessment answers are yours only. What you write to the personal questions in sessions is not shared with your partner either; at the comparison step you choose what to read out. With the daily question, answers open together once you have both written; neither shows before the other exists.

Phone or computer?

Either works. Your Couples Wellness account opens both the web app and the app downloaded from the App Store or Google Play, and your partner uses their own device. This account is separate from your Apple or Google store account, and from any Sexual Wellness account.

What else is in the app besides sessions?

Alongside the sessions there is a daily question you each answer separately, a weekly couple ritual of about 15 minutes, and 60 conversation cards in six decks. In the weekly ritual, too, you first think on your own and then see your answers together.
