Your results will show scores in the following key areas of a relationship:
- C - Communication
Most people will know that open and honest dialogue creates a safe space for each of you to be vulnerable, sharing their innermost thoughts without fear of judgment, which is the foundation of intimacy
- A- Affection
The questions in this category are aimed at getting a sense of how you and your partner talk about feelings at the current moment in your life. When taken in the context of the rest of the quiz results, we can then describe ways to help improve intimacy even more. - R - Resolution -
When a couple lacks conflict resolution skills and is unable to seek helpful ways to resolve disagreements, anger and resentment builds and hurts don't get healed.It's impossible to strengthen relationships or develop intimacy when these are in place. Learning to connect after a rupture or fight is a cornerstone of romance and intimate connections. - E- Equilibrium-
Intimacy is strained in a marriage or connection when a couple tries to connect, and there's inequality in that connection. It's not about making sure things are divided equally, but ensuring that imbalances are talked about, and worked through. - X - Crisis -
This version contains questions based on evidence based indicators of relationship distress.
