## Pages
- [One subscription. Both of you.](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/): A daily connection habit for couples: conversation decks, communication tools and small rituals that keep you close.
- [Comparisons](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/compare/): Paired, Lasting, Relish, card decks and Nearvo compared on format, who has to pay, and the two complaints that recur across the whole category.
- [Couples apps compared, 2026](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/compare/best-couples-apps-2026/): What each couples app is actually built for, the two complaints that recur across all of them, the pricing models including who has to pay, and where each one is the right answer.
- [Nearvo vs Lasting vs Relish](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/compare/nearvo-vs-lasting-vs-relish/): Three different products for three different situations. Structured sessions, human coaching, and a daily question, with the pricing question that decides more than the features do.
- [Nearvo vs Paired](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/compare/nearvo-vs-paired/): Paired is the most polished daily-question app for couples and it ships today. Nearvo is in development and built around one complaint about the category. An honest comparison.
- [Frequently asked questions](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/faq/): Questions about couples research, check-ins, and how Nearvo works.
- [Relationship glossary](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/glossary/): The terms that come up in relationship research and in the apps built on it, defined plainly, with the ones that are contested clearly marked as contested.
- [Questions](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/questions/): Question sets for specific moments — after a fight, when you feel disconnected, the weekly check-in — plus 50 examples of bids for connection.
- [Every question this site answers](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/questions-answered/): All 44 questions answered across Nearvo, each linked to its full answer. Generated from the pages themselves.
- [25 questions to ask your partner after a fight](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/questions/after-a-fight/): Questions for the conversation after the argument, grouped by what you're trying to do — repair, understand, or prevent the next one.
- [32 questions to ask before moving in together](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/questions/before-moving-in-together/): The conversations worth having before the lease, ordered — money, space, mess, guests, and the exit. Free, no signup, and each section ends in something to decide rather than something to discuss.
- [50 examples of bids for connection](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/questions/bids-for-connection/): Bids are small attempts to get attention or affection. Here are 50 concrete examples with the turning-toward response to each.
- [30 questions for long distance](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/questions/long-distance/): Long distance fails on logistics-only contact and unspoken expectations, not on distance. Questions in four groups — the actual rhythm, the hard conversations, staying interesting, and the end date.
- [28 questions for talking about money](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/questions/money-conversations/): Money arguments are usually not about money. Questions ordered to surface the beliefs underneath before the numbers, with a structure for the conversation that stops it becoming an audit.
- [Reconnecting after a baby](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/questions/reconnecting-after-a-baby/): Questions written for the specific conditions of new parenthood — five minutes, exhausted, one of you holding a baby.
- [How do you stop having the same argument over and over?](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/questions/same-argument-over-and-over/): Most recurring arguments are not solvable problems. Recognising which kind you have changes what you should be trying to do.
- [The weekly relationship check-in](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/questions/weekly-check-in/): A repeatable structure for a weekly conversation, in an order that keeps it from becoming a list of grievances.
- [20 questions for when you feel disconnected](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/questions/when-you-feel-disconnected/): For when nothing is wrong exactly, but something is missing. Questions that open a conversation without starting an argument.
- [What the research says](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/research/): Honest summaries of relationship research, including where popular claims don't hold up.
- [Do love languages actually work?](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/research/do-love-languages-work/): A 2024 review in Current Directions in Psychological Science examined the three core claims and found none well supported. What that means in practice.
- [Why only one partner pays](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/research/one-subscription-both-partners/): Requiring both partners to subscribe separately is a documented complaint about apps in this category. Here's our reasoning.
- [What perpetual conflict means](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/research/what-perpetual-conflict-means/): A substantial share of couple disagreement is rooted in stable differences and will not be resolved. Why treating a perpetual problem as solvable produces the same argument on a loop, and what to do instead.
- [Why relationship quizzes do not change anything](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/research/why-quizzes-dont-change-behaviour/): The most common complaint about couples apps is that a quiz produces a result and no next action. Why a category label is not an instruction, and what a prompt has to end with instead.
- [The problems this site is about](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/why/): Drift is inattention rather than conflict, most quizzes end in a label instead of an action, and several of the frameworks these apps are built on are weaker than their marketing suggests.
- [Why couples drift apart](https://nearvo.bakerventuresstudio.com/why/why-couples-drift-apart/): Drift is usually inattention rather than conflict. What the published research supports about small everyday responses, what it does not support, and why most relationship quizzes end in a label instead of an action.
