A quick quiz to test the state of your relationship.
by: Udo Vieth
Relationships (somewhat like life) seem to revolve around the balance achieved. Much like the spokes of a wheel, If one aspect is strong, whilst another is weak, the journey may become erratic and stressful.
So here is a quick quiz to evaluate your potential soulmate.
After 2-4 weeks of dating, ask yourself the following questions about your mate: Rate them 1- 10, 1 being not at all, 10 being totally true. Write your score next to the question. OK here we go, ask yourself:
PHYSICAL: Is there sexual chemistry,and are your physical abilities or activities matched. (1-10) -
INTELLECTUAL : Do you have similar intellect, so that you can talk about all sorts of things when together. (1- 10) SPIRITUAL: Do you agree about your life's purpose and path? (1-10) EMOTIONAL: Do you feel cared about and comfortable being with each other? (1-10)
MONEY: Do you have the same attitude towards money? (1-10)
FAMILY: Do you have strong family ties, and are you both comfortable with these? (1-10)
CHILDREN: Do you have, want, agree on children?(1-10)
OK that's only 7 quick questions. If your score in any of them is less than 4 at this stage, things look pretty bleak for a long term relationship.
If after a few months (3-5) of dating, you cannot achieve consistent scores of over 7, strongly consider whether you may just make each other unhappy in the long term.
Accept that you both expect things you cannot give each other. Yes it will be painful, but a lot less so than a life of frustration and compromise.
Always remember, you need to let go of a wrong relationship to make way for the right one to appear.
If you have achieved high scores, make a commitment to maintain and honour the relationship, you are lucky. Feed and nurture a good thing,and appreciate what you have.
And remember Keep on loving.
