Get Started With Relationship Quizzes

Through more than three decades of researching couples, relationships, and marriages, Dr. John Gottman discovered that couples who maintain a vibrant friendship keep their romance and passion alive, as well as manage conflict calmly and constructively. At The Relationship Center of Jacksonville, Florida, we use his work and these relationship quizzes to help determine the state of your relationship and work on functional conflict resolution.

Scoring

Add up the number of answers that you answered True and multiply by 5. If your score and your partner's score is above 80, congratulations! You are reasonably happy in your relationship. Scores lower than 80 indicate there is need for some improvement in your relationship. You and your partner most likely would benefit from participating in Couples' Counseling.

Scoring

Add up the number of items for which you answered "True." Multiply this number by 20. If your score or your partner's score is above 40, your relationship may be in need of some help with how the two of you disagree. It can be hard to say calm when you are having a hard time being heard or understood by your spouse or partner, or when they are upset/angry with you.
