Weekly research digests, quarterly reports, and data-backed findings. Everything we publish includes methodology, sample size, and limitations.
Our data shows the average long-term couple spends just 11 minutes per day in face-to-face conversation. But the number itself isn't the problem. It's what happens in those 11 minutes that predicts whether a relationship is strengthening or slowly coming apart.
How quickly a couple reconnects after conflict matters more than how often they fight. Couples who repair within 4 hours show 3.8x higher relationship stability than those who take 24+ hours.
Couples with at least one consistent daily ritual (morning coffee together, evening walk, bedtime check-in) score 42% higher on our Presence Ratio metric than those without any.
In 68% of couples showing early drift signals, one partner initiates connection attempts 4x more often than the other. This asymmetry is the earliest behavioral predictor of disconnection.
73% of couples who report feeling disconnected still share a bed every night. Physical proximity without intentional attention creates a false sense of togetherness that masks drift.
Our first quarterly Pulse Index report. Population-level drift scores, repair velocity trends, and what seasonal patterns in relationship behavior tell us about how love works.
Traditional relationship research relies on self-reports. People are bad at self-reporting. Here's how we built a behavioral measurement system that watches what couples do, not what they say.
One email per week. Data-backed findings on how relationships actually work. No fluff, no therapy-speak, no unsubstantiated claims.
