Relationship Check

These 10 questions are waiting for you

For each one you answer “Not true”, “Partly” or “True”. There is no right or wrong – just your honest impression.

1. Conversations between you often end in an argument.
2. You don’t feel truly heard by your partner.
3. Conflicts stay unresolved and drag on for days.
4. Affection and physical closeness fall short between you.
5. You hardly spend any real, enjoyable time together as a couple.
6. You find it hard to fully trust your partner.
7. You hold back your feelings because you’re unsure how they’ll be received.
8. Housework, appointments and keeping track of everyday life are unevenly shared.
9. Your ideas about the future are drifting apart.
10. You feel less happy in your relationship than you did a year ago.

What your result looks like

Your answers add up to one of three levels:

Your relationship is stable

Based on your answers, you feel largely at ease in your relationship. Small frictions are part of it – keep talking and look after what works well between you.

Some areas need work

In some areas you feel strain or distance. That’s no reason to panic, but it’s a good moment to raise these topics openly and without blame.

Your relationship needs attention

You describe clear dissatisfaction in many areas. That doesn’t mean your relationship has failed – but it now needs time, honest conversations and perhaps outside support, such as couples counselling.
