Marriage is a journey filled with varying seasons where at some seasons, things are going great, and other times, you just seem to be hanging on for life. Like a thermometer, assessing the temperature of your relationship can offer valuable insights into its current state.
One effective way to gauge this is through a relationship checkup questionnaire designed to evaluate various facets of your relationship. By candidly answering these questions and comparing your responses with your spouse, you can identify areas that need attention and celebrate the strengths that bolster your connection.
You and your spouse each answer the questions below separately, rating each question on a sale from 1 – 10, with ten being the best. Then add up your score to see how each of you think the temperature of your relationship is. Compare your answers and see the things you need to work on together.
The reason this is such a great checkup, is one spouse may think things are great in one area while the other might think things are not so good. This questionnaire with prompt great conversations which will help your relationship and intimacy thrive.
