If you have ever thumbed through a magazine that regularly discusses relationships, whether it is a men's or women's magazine, chances are you have seen various types of quizzes. One of the more common quizzes is the love compatibility test. You answer a few silly questions and then check your answers to get some purportedly deep insight into your relationship.
There is nothing wrong with such quizzes and they can be a entertaining way to pass some time while waiting for a dentist's appointment. As long as you only take them for what they are... a source of amusement... then there is no real harm in taking them. Besides, if you have ever taken them, you have probably noticed one or two things. Firstly... the explanation of your score is so far off that it's out-and-out laughable. Secondly... the explanations are so wide-ranging that they could apply to almost any relationship you have ever been in; good or bad.
It is probably a safe supposition that no love compatibility test in a magazine has ever saved a relationship. They are fun and have their place, but fixing a relationship isn't it; no matter what the maker of the quiz claims. However, there is a test you can use to help make your relationship stronger. You won't find it in any magazine, but not to worry, the questions of this love compatibility test are below.
Before you take the love compatibility test, you need to decide which way works best for you. Will each of you take it separately with a pen and paper, or will you discuss the answers as you take the test? Either way, the main goal is to ignite a good discussion about your relationship. This is important because good communication is one of the fundamentals of a healthy relationship.
1. How do you envision our future? This is a good question because it will show if you have drifted apart, or if you are still together in the things you want from the relationship. It's far better to know where each of you stands instead of making assumptions... but as long as you both envisage you being together, then it's possible to work out the niceties.
2. What do you want from the relationship and life? The purpose of this question is to not only see what the ideal relationship means to each other, but to also see what the higher life questions mean. Over the years people alter, so you may be surprised to learn how your partner answers this question, and vice-versa.
3. What's the one thing you would change? By asking this you will get an idea of where the problem areas of your relationship are. Don't take it personally, but be happy that you get a chance to learn where you can make improvements.
4. What could I do better? Be careful here. You need to make sure there is enough respect before you ask this question. The one answer you don't want to hear is "nothing". The truth is that none of us are perfect and that means there is always room to do better. Your partner should feel secure enough to tell you the truth and you should feel self-assured enough to hear it!
I hope this little love compatibility test helps and you have a long and happy relationship.
