Resumo	The Relationship Assessment Scale is a brief, widely used instrument for measuring global relationship satisfaction and quality in romantic partnerships. Developed by Susan Hendrick in 1988 and based on Robert Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love, the RAS measures the three core components of love: intimacy (emotional closeness and connection), passion (attraction and desire), and commitment (dedication and decision to maintain the relationship). The RAS is valued for its brevity (7 items), applicability across diverse relationship types, and strong psychometric properties.	The ENRICH (Enriching Relationships: Issues, Communication, Happiness) program is a comprehensive couple assessment and enrichment system developed by David Olson that includes multiple relationship assessment tools. The ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale is a subset of the full ENRICH Couple Inventory and measures couple satisfaction across key relationship domains. Widely used in premarital counseling, relationship enrichment programs, and couple therapy, the ENRICH approach assesses both relationship strengths and areas for improvement, positioning it as both diagnostic and developmentally focused.
