I think using a reality check should be a part of everyday life. People tend to live in a fantasy world and like to believe everything is perfect, when really in reality, it's not. In a relationship with someone, you always want to think that you know what your significant other is doing or if he/she is telling the truth. But for example, if he/she has been lieing lately, chances are it's still happening. I myself try to ignore relaity checks because I'd rather think everything is okay and what's happening, really isn't if it's bad. I think these checkups could help you figure out a person or save you from getting hurt. In some cases, I think it could be a good thing for yourself and the other person. Or, it might even make you closer in your relationship.
I would say that a reality check would greatly improve yourself and how you interact with the people around us. Sometimes we just don't register what we do or say, and it can end up being the death of our bond with someone. Taking out a little bit of time to look over what's going on around us could be the difference between being the bad guy of the relationship or the reliable one who you can trust.
I think that using a reality check could improve a relationship. I also feel that it could save a relationship. Sometimes, relationships are based on love at first site. Sometimes, people just love or like a person simply because that person is infatuated with them, but there has to be more to the relationship than that. They have to take a reality check. Also, taking a reality check could save a person. If a person is in an abusive relationshiop with someone, they need to simply take a reality check, and realize that they would be better off without that person.

I think a reality check could hurt or save a relationship depending on circumstance. It could help people realize the truth and grow from it, but at the same time it could cause people to fight more. It really all depends.
