THRIVE is an on-line self-partner-relationship awareness tool that gives a couple a comprehensive picture — strengths and challenges — of their relationship on a single page. It is designed to stimulate rich couple conversation, generating greater understanding and appreciation for the couple’s life together.
THRIVE is composed of 67 questions that take about 20 minutes for each partner to complete conveniently and independently online. All questions are straight-forward, simple, and transparent. They are answered by simply clicking on numbers from 1 to 9, to rate a low to high response.
Each response to a question becomes a single "node" (not a standardized scale) graphically represented on a THRIVE "Sphere-Chart." Every node is displayed in relation to every other node, revealing the inter-connections among parts and capturing the uniqueness of every relationship. Nodes are grouped into seven sectors based on a healthy relationship model of collaboration. The results are displayed as individual, partner, and couple (overlay) sphere-charts.
When couples finish taking THRIVE, they meet with a trained THRIVE Facilitator to review their sphere-charts.
