Relationships are often the mirror through which we discover not only the other person—but ourselves. But how do we truly know if what we’re in is healthy?
The Couples Quiz by Verywell Mind offers a thoughtful lens for reflection. With 20 questions covering key dynamics such as trust, respect, communication, conflict resolution, and sexual connection, the quiz helps you assess the overall health of your relationship. But beyond just scoring points, it invites deeper self-awareness and the opportunity for real growth—individually and as a couple.
What Does a “Healthy Relationship” Really Mean?
While every relationship is unique, healthy partnerships tend to share a few common characteristics. The quiz draws attention to several of these areas:
1. Trust is the Foundation
Do you believe your partner has your best interests at heart? Healthy relationships are built on emotional safety, consistency, and dependability. If you feel the need to constantly second-guess your partner’s actions or words, it may indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed.
2. Respect and Individuality Matter
In a healthy bond, both people feel seen and heard. Respect means recognising your partner’s needs, boundaries, and opinions—even when they differ from your own. Importantly, healthy relationships allow space for individuality. You’re still you, not just someone’s partner.
3. Communication is Open and Constructive
One of the strongest indicators of a resilient relationship is how couples communicate during both calm and conflict. Can you express concerns without fear of judgment? Do discussions lead to resolution rather than resentment? These are essential elements for long-term success.
4. Conflict Isn’t the Problem—Avoidance Is
All couples disagree. But in healthy relationships, disagreements are approached with curiosity rather than contempt. There’s an ability to repair after rupture and to grow through differences.
5. Emotional and Physical Intimacy Are Nurtured
Emotional intimacy—feeling emotionally close, safe, and supported—often goes hand-in-hand with physical intimacy. A satisfying sexual relationship is about mutual respect, communication, and compatibility. When this connection starts to fade, it’s worth exploring the “why” together or with professional guidance.
When the Answers Raise Red Flags
If your quiz results indicate concerning dynamics like control, dishonesty, fear, or emotional withdrawal—take it seriously. These signs often signal the early stages of emotional erosion and should never be brushed aside. Healing is possible, but it starts with awareness and a willingness to address what’s not working.
What to Do with This Insight
Whether your relationship is thriving, uncertain, or on the edge—awareness is the first step.
Reflect: How do your answers align with your lived experience?
Discuss: Can you and your partner talk about your results openly and respectfully?
Act: Sometimes, it helps to speak with a neutral professional—especially if conversations feel stuck or unsafe.
