How a weekly relationship check-in works
Sustainable clarity for long-term connection
The Rhythm of Consistency
SayYes is built on the belief that relationship maintenance shouldn't feel like a heavy clinical exercise. Instead, it should be a quiet, predictable rhythm. By checking in once a week, you prevent the slow drift that happens when life gets busy and communication becomes purely logistical.
1. Private Reflection
Every week, you and your partner receive a notification that your connection space is ready. You each answer five simple questions independently. These questions cover the core pillars of a healthy partnership: emotional support, physical intimacy, financial alignment, household logistics, and mutual respect.
Answering separately ensures that your responses are honest and uninfluenced by your partner's current mood or presence. It is a moment of personal reflection on the relationship.
2. Shared Alignment
Once both partners have finished their check-in, the results are revealed. SayYes highlights your "Alignment Score"—a percentage that reflects how synchronized you feel across all categories.
This isn't about a "perfect score." It is about visibility. Seeing a lower score in logistics or emotional support isn't a failure; it's a neutral signal that those areas simply need a little more intentionality in the coming week.
3. Actionable Clarity
The goal of the check-in is to move from vague feelings of "something is off" to specific clarity. Instead of having a heavy, two-hour "talk" about everything, you can have a five-minute conversation about the one specific category that needs attention.
Over time, SayYes tracks your Relationship Pulse, showing you how your alignment trends. This long-term view helps you see progress and identify patterns before they become deep-seated issues.
Why it works
- Low Friction:Takes less than five minutes a week.
- Neutral Language:Avoids clinical jargon or blame-heavy prompts.
- Privacy-First:Your private notes are never shared; only the scores are compared.
