The Marriage and Long-Term Relationship Quiz, Part 2

To review the first three sections of this quiz from Part 1, go here.

How strong and long-term is your long-term relationship? Test your capacity for longevity and lasting love as a couple by taking this quiz together.

This is far more than a simple quiz. You can use the areas in which you find weakness in your relationship as points to work on with your partner, ensuring more happiness for more years together.

If you want help working through the quiz or want to delve deeper into each section of the quiz, I am writing detailed articles on each quiz section in the RCN Plus, a premium version of this newsletter. To subscribe, click here.

Directions:
Print out this week's sections of the quiz and take them somewhere you can be undisturbed.

Complete the sections by placing a checkmark next to each statement you agree with. Score the sections by giving yourself one point for each checkmark. Record your score for the week and keep it on hand.

At the end of four weeks -- at which point you will have received all 10 sections of the quiz -- combine your scores and read the quiz score interpretation.

If you are in a relationship, ask your partner to do the same, then get back together and compare your scores. Use your answers and your scores as a springboard for discussion.

Use this quiz as an opportunity to deepen your understanding of yourself, or if you are in a relationship, of yourself and your partner. Use your unmarked/disagree statements as points to work on.
