All of our relationships are multi faceted. Whether it is marital relationship or a love relationship, all have dimensions that make them go through ups and downs in our life. a relationship essentially develops between two persons and that is the reason of these changes. If one person is feeling bad for some reason, the relationship will suffer. There are three factors in a relationship - You, the person you are relating with and the type of relationship. Is there any method to test the relationships? Will that help? Let us find out.
There are few websites that offer tests and quizzes. Attempt all the quizzes on relationships and find out your answers. Ask your mate to do the same and find the answers. Compare your answers and try to find questions that were answered differently by both of you. That will tell you something about the areas your relationship may encounter friction.
The tests will serve another purpose. That is to raise questions in your mind. For example if a test question wants to know if you are satisfied with your mates attention to you and you answer yes, but still think if the answer is correct? The questions asked in a test will give you a lot to think about. Discuss the tests with your mate and find out how your views are same and different. This will give you both a long list of questions to talk about with each other.
This exercise must be carried out in an atmosphere of good will and care for each other. Such an exercise can help you find a lot about your relationship and how your mate looks at you. Normally we don't tell each other that we don't like a certain habit of our mate. But when we answer that question in a quiz, our opinions will become clear to our mate and without any rancor, we manage to send the message. Quizzes and tests give us an opportunity at no cost to strengthen our relationship. |
