Take The Gottman Relationship Quiz

If you’re in a romantic relationship, do you think you know your partner pretty well? How about really well? Be honest now. Partners go through ups and downs and it takes some effort (hopefully, enjoyable effort) to keep in touch with the issues your partner may be dealing with, or how they’re feeling about friends and relatives.

For example, imagine that you were meeting with one of your dear old friends whom you’d not seen in a while. You meet for a cup of coffee or a drink and catch up on each other’s lives. They ask you about your partner: Is there anything going on in their life or at work that’s stressing them out? Would you know how to answer that?

Or imagine if the conversation turned to family. In a lighthearted gripe session, your friend asks you: Is there anyone in your partner’s family (perhaps the proverbial nasty old uncle who’s so irritating at Thanksgiving) that your partner really doesn’t like? Do you know who that is?

Asking yourself how well you know your partner and how well you keep in touch with the issues they’re facing is actually a very important consideration. To back up that statement, consider that researchers at the renowned Gottman Institute have studied thousands of couples and their relationships for over four decades. What’s one of the most important things they’ve discovered? It’s that one of the most striking aspects of a successful relationship is the quality of friendship between partners. And that depends upon knowing everything from your partner’s likes and dislikes to their fears and life dreams.
