How well you truly know each other is a powerful indicator of the health of your relationship. Feeling close, connected and accepted by your partner forms the foundation of strong and satisfying relationships.
When a relationship is working well, partners feel safe to be themselves. You are comfortable sharing your thoughts, feelings and experiences, even when you do not always agree. Differences are respected, conversations feel open, and disagreements do not threaten the bond you share.
This sense of emotional safety and understanding does not happen by accident. It is built through ongoing communication, curiosity and time spent connecting with one another.
The relationship test below is designed to help you reflect on how well you know your partner and how strong your day to day connection feels.

How to Interpret Your Results

Well done. You have a strong relationship and a good understanding of each other. You are likely to feel close and comfortable talking together, even about more personal topics.
Between 5 and 10 correct
Your relationship may feel average or a little disconnected at times. This is common, especially when life feels busy or stressful. Making more time to talk, check in emotionally and share experiences can significantly improve how close you feel.
Fewer than 5 correct
Your relationship may be struggling, and you may have lost touch with each other over time. Rebuilding connection is still possible, but it requires intention and prioritisation. Spending regular uninterrupted time together and having meaningful conversations is essential. Relationship counselling can also provide valuable support to help you reconnect before patterns become more entrenched.
When Relationship Counselling Can Help
If this test highlights distance, misunderstandings or emotional disconnection, working with a professional can make a meaningful difference.
