Here are five easy questions to test your beliefs about what makes
a great relationship. This deceptively simple quiz quickly gets
to the heart of the matter...
What's the Point of
this Quiz?
The point is to get you to examine your
beliefs about what makes a relationship great. And to see if your
beliefs may actually be getting in your way — making it harder
for you to experience lasting satisfaction in a relationship.
As we all know, lasting satisfaction is
rare these days. The divorce rate is high.
And if truthful, most couples admit they
are far less happy than they truly want to be.
So, are relationships — even ones
that start off great — simply doomed?
It does not have to be that way. Too many
couples needlessly suffer or split up.

Regardless of how many of your answers

consider the following information...
The Bottom Line for
Relationship Success
Finding a good partner — and a relationship
that feels great — is just a first step.
You also need to know how to keep the
relationship feeling great over time.
All relationships get tested.
So a lasting great relationship does
not just "happen" all by itself. It is not a matter
of "luck" or finding the "right" person.
You need to the right tools and strategies
to keep it great — even when challenges arise.
"A
key to relationship success is having the right strategies
and tools — especially when you run into difficulties."
This is not just our opinion.
Scientific research supports it.
The final question on the quiz is taken
directly from research studies on couples who share lasting happiness
— compared to those who suffer or split up.
Our society's popular myth is that happy
couples don't have as many issues or differences to deal with.
But actual research breaks this myth...
It is a myth that happy couples have fewer
issues to resolve.
Most couples have to deal with similar amounts of issues.
Couples who succeed have learned better strategies to resolve
issues, work through differences, and keep satisfaction alive.
Few of us enter adult relationships knowing
the best strategies to succeed. Does this surprise you? Look at
the evidence. That's why our divorce rate is so high. That's why
so many couples are far less happy than they yearn to be.
The good news is that we can all learn
new and better strategies.
If you want to succeed in relationship,
it is a good idea to admit to yourself that you may need to learn
something new — then commit to learning it.
With the
right tools you can build and sustain a lasting great
relationship.
With the
right strategies you can improve a relationship that's
in trouble or is less satisfying than you want it to be.
