Exploring the Potential of a Digital Intervention to Enhance Couple Relationships (the Paired App): Mixed Methods Evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the effects of poor relationship quality on individuals', couples', and families' well-being, help seeking often does not occur until problems arise. Digital interventions may lower barriers to engagement with preventive relationship care. The Paired app, launched in October 2020, aims to strengthen and enhance couple relationships. It provides daily questions, quizzes, tips, and detailed content and facilitates in-app sharing of question and quiz responses and tagged content between partners.

Objective

To explore the potential of mobile health to benefit couple relationships and how it may do this, we examined (1) Paired's impact on relationship quality and (2) its mechanisms of action.
