Your home requires proper maintenance. Your car requires regular oil changes and tuneups. If you want to improve your chances of living a long life, you need to eat well and get regular exercise. Most of us are aware that these all are things which deserve our attention in order to avoid expensive repair bills or worse yet, serious medical issues. However, one of the most important aspects of many individuals' lives is often overlooked — relationships. 

For the third consecutive year in conjunction with Valentine's Day on Feb. 14, the University of Kentucky Family Center is offering free Relationship Checkups to the greater Lexington community. These checkups are available for married couples and couples who are dating, engaged and/or living together, including gay and lesbian couples. 

The UK Family Center, which first opened in 1988, is a part of the Department of Family Sciences within the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.  

The checkups, which are free of charge, will be offered every day beginning Feb. 9 and continuing through Feb. 17, with the exception of Sunday, Feb. 12.  Appointments can be scheduled by calling the center at 859-257-7755, by visiting their website at http://familycenter.uky.edu, or via email at ukfamilycenter@uky.edu. The center is located on the second floor of Scovell Hall on UK's campus.
