Relationship Test: Question #1
What five things have you done in your life that you are most proud of?
This will give you insight about what things your partner does that you should notice. When she/he does similar things, be sure to be quick with the praise.
Relationship Test Question #2
If your partner had an affair, how would you react? Could you forgive him or
her?
Everyone says it won't happen to them. And a high percentage of those are wrong. Do you know how you would react? Do you know how your partner would react? What factors would make it hurt less? What factors would make it hurt more?
Relationship Test: Question #3
Over the last five years how do you think you have changed for the worse?
Better?
Ouch! Don't ask the first one, unless you're prepared to answer it. Honestly, the first question will be much more difficult to answer than the second. We tend to think we are constantly improving. Maybe it will help if you think about physical characteristics (especially if you're over 30). Or think about the way you handle stress. Etc.
Relationship Test: Question #4
On which topics do you feel qualified at giving advice?
It is important to some people that their advice be taken seriously when they think the matter falls within their area of expertise. Don't run over your partner with your opinions if the issue is an area of expertise for them--even if you think they're wrong. She/he might resent you more than you'll ever know. At least thoughtfully consider their reasons. They might teach you a thing or two.
