SELF-Therapy For People Who ENJOY Learning About Themselves!

Summary and Options

WHEW! That was a lot of work!

Congratulations! You have shown that you really take your relationship seriously, that it is important to you, and that you KNOW it could even be better.

Share all your hard work with your partner! Tell them what you've done, and what you've learned. It would be a good idea if your partner did the analysis themselves too, so you could compare your results. (Just be sure you are talking about the same time period when you do the analysis!)

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU DO THE ANALYSIS?

If your relationship is going along very well and your results here have been good, I'd suggest that you redo the analysis no more often than every six months to a year unless you hit some rough spots. (Just enjoy the relationship, don't bother analyzing it!)

If your relationship is going through an extremely rough time right now, I'd suggest that you redo the analysis about every month or so. (You might even want to do it over right now, but choose another time period in your relationship when things were going well! You might pick up some valuable "hints from the past" about how to improve things now!)

If your relationship is "OK," but you are working on some important things, I'd suggest that you redo the analysis about every 2-3 months OR whenever you think things have changed considerably for the better or for the worse.

THANKS!

Thanks for caring about your relationship so much.

Thanks for all your work.

Thanks for any feedback you send.
