Relationship Satisfaction Self Test
You may still care deeply about your partner while feeling lonely in the relationship. Perhaps you have stopped enjoying time together, feel less close than you used to, or keep wondering whether things are really working for you.
The Couples Satisfaction Index, CSI-4, asks four questions about how you feel in your current romantic relationship. It offers a brief snapshot of your satisfaction and can help you begin to put that experience into words.
This self-check is for adults aged 18 and over. Complete it for yourself, based on your own experience. If your partner would like to take it too, they can complete it separately.
No name or email is required. Results appear immediately, and the questionnaire does not send your answers or score to Village Therapy. Responses are not monitored.
Understanding your result
Scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating greater relationship satisfaction. Scores below 13.5 suggest notable relationship dissatisfaction in the published scoring guidance.
Your score reflects your perspective. It cannot capture the whole relationship, tell you how your partner feels, or predict what will happen next. A result above the threshold does not mean that every part of the relationship is going well. A result below it does not mean the relationship cannot improve.
The questionnaire cannot tell you whether to stay together, separate, or attend couples therapy. You can seek support at any score.
Using the result
You might reflect on what felt easiest or hardest to answer. Do you feel comfortable with your partner? Does the relationship feel rewarding? Are there things you miss or want to change?
If it feels safe and useful, the result can be a starting point for a conversation. If you and your partner have different scores, those differences may help you understand each other's experience. Neither score decides whose account is correct.
When safety is a concern
This questionnaire does not assess abuse, coercion, or whether couples therapy is appropriate. If you feel afraid, controlled, or unsafe with your partner, seek individual support. You do not need to share your answers with your partner.
