You track everything.
Except the one system you rely on every day: your relationship.
So instead, you’re left asking:
- • Are they ignoring me — or checking out?
- • Did our sex life change... or did I?
- • Is this imbalance in my head — or worse than I think?
- • Are we just in a low point — or permanently drifting apart?
Without shared data, it’s impossible to tell.
Every disagreement becomes a debate about the past.
SparkTheory replaces guesswork with evidence.
See how it worksWaiting doesn’t make this clearer. It just makes the bad patterns harder to reverse.
Get a Clear Baseline—Fast
In minutes, SparkTheory gives you a clear snapshot of what’s actually happening in your relationship — not based on memory, mood, or who argued best last night.
You’ll see:
- •
Where the imbalance actually is
And where it is not, which matters just as much.
- •
What is actually driving the tension
Effort gaps, withdrawal, or stuck cycles that keep replaying.
- •
How your relationship compares
To couples dealing with similar pressure, work demands, and life stage.
No blame. Just a shared starting point you can stop arguing about.
Of course, you could always just:
Or...try something new. A smart tool for people who donĘĽt leave important things to chance.
Why this is so hard to see clearly
Not because you’re bad at relationships.
Not because you’re “too emotional” or “too analytical.”
But because relationships are the one system where:
- • Memory replaces measurement
- • Stress rewrites the past
- • And whoever’s most upset ends up carrying the most doubt
Over time, your brain fills in gaps using old fights, role beliefs, and cultural expectations. What feels like certainty is often a highlight reel of the worst moments — not the full picture. So you react. They react to your reaction.
Suddenly, you’re arguing about tone, timing, or intent instead of what’s actually happening.
That’s how patterns form. Once they’re formed, they don’t fade on their own — they harden.
The Reality Check
The SparkTheory Reality Check gives you a clear snapshot of what’s actually happening in your relationship — across the areas that matter most - before opinions, explanations, or blame take over.
You’ll see:
- •
How strained things really are
Not how they feel on a bad day — but how they look over time.
- •
Where effort is landing (and where it is not)
Who plans, who initiates, who repairs, who carries the emotional load — and where resentment is actually building.
- •
What is improving, what is stuck, and what is eroding
So you can tell the difference between a rough patch and a real decline.
- •
How your relationship compares
Side-by-side with couples dealing with similar pressure, work demands, and life stage.
No blame. Just a shared view you can use.
Once you can see the pattern, you can decide what to do about it.
Until then, you’re stuck arguing without traction.
What happens after you see your results
First, you get a clear read.
You and your partner are looking at the same baseline - the same patterns, pressure points, and gaps - grounded in data, not anger, memory, or who explained it better.
Then, you choose what to work on.
Not everything. Not forever. Just the places where change would actually matter.
SparkTheory helps you:
- • Make invisible work visible
- • Track whether what you agree to actually happens
The result is: progress (or lack thereof) isn’t something you feel or argue about.
It’s something you see.
This is how patterns stop repeating. Not through more analysis, effort, or advice but through clarity, clear goals, and real follow-through.
Who this is for
SparkTheory is for people who are done guessing and ready to look at what’s actually happening.
It’s for couples who:
- • feel stuck arguing about the same things
- • know the imbalance is real, but struggle to prove it
- • like clarity before making bigger decisions
- • are willing to look at patterns — even if the answer is uncomfortable
You don’t need to be on the brink.
You just need to want the truth more than reassurance.
Who this isn’t for
SparkTheory isn’t for:
- • people looking for validation instead of evidence
- • couples who want to read about problems, not take actions
- • anyone hoping data will replace hard conversations
- • someone trying to "win" an argument
If you want advice without accountability, this won’t be a fit.
This works even when only one of you is on board — and works far better than endless analysis that just fuels more disagreement.
SparkTheory is a relationship science company.
We study how real couples think, behave, and change under modern pressure — dual careers, constant distraction, uneven labor, and long-term stress.
Instead of advice or anecdotes, SparkTheory is built from ongoing data across thousands of couples,
identifying patterns that actually predict improvement — and the ones that quickly veer into decline.
That’s what the Reality Check is grounded in. Not opinion. Not trends. Not whoever argues best.
You don’t need to believe anything yet.
You just need to see what’s actually happening.
