Is Your Relationship In Trouble?-
Take the Marital Stress Test
As Seen on CBS Channel 5 News---

Directions:
Answer:     a)   Always      b) Sometimes     c) Never
to the following questions:

1)        Is your partner your best friend?
2)        Do you trust your partner?
3)        Do you respect your partner?
4)        Are you able to communicate your wants and needs?
5)        Do you resolve conflict?
6)        Are you able to maintain your own identity?
7)        Do you find your partner physically attractive?
8)        Do you take responsibility for your half of the                                                    
            marriage; particularly where problems are concerned?



If you answered "always" to any of these questions, then your marriage holds strengths to build on.  If you
answered "sometimes" to any of these questions, then you need to ask yourself, "what can I do to be a better
partner?"

If you answered "never" to any of these questions, your marriage is in need of help from a third party.  All of
the questions above are building blocks to a sound marital foundation.  If one is missing then other areas of
the marriage will suffer.

*  This test does not determine likelihood of divorce.  It is to be used strictly as a measure of marital harmony.
