Relationship Quiz

​By Rita Cole MFT

How Can I Help My Relationship Last?
 
Y  N    My partner and I spend time together talking about our day.

Y  N    When I feel unsure or in need of comfort, I feel that I can turn to my partner and he/she will take time to listen to me, and offer me comfort and reassurance.

Y  N    I am also there for my partner in a similar way.

Y  N     When my partner or I leave or arrive at home, we kiss and hug, or greet each other in a way that is meaningful, and helps us reconnect.  

Y  N   I know that I am important to my partner, and even when we fight, I know that we will be O.K. together.

Y  N    I am able to have fun when my partner and we participate in activities together.

Y  N    I am comfortable discussing this questionnaire with my partner.

​This quiz is designed to encourage thinking and conversation about how connected you are feeling in your relationship.  It also describes some ways that couples maintain connection.  Devoting just a few minutes of undivided attention to discuss your relationship can send a strong message of “I care and I want to work to change things.” 

This quiz is not a substitute for therapy.  Sometimes it can be helpful to have someone neutral listen to you and your partner, to help you understand the places where you might be feeling stuck, and to start working together to strengthen your relationship.   I am here to help you with that.
