There is very little conflict in our relationship

2When there is conflict we handle it very satisfactorily.

3I find myself agreeing with my partner far more often than disagreeing.

4If my partner ended up developing a similar character to his/her parents, or became like them in old age, I would be very happy about this.

5I feel that I can share all my feelings, good and bad, with my partner and that he/she does the same with me.

6My partner is very similar to me in cultural, social, intellectual and economic background and probably in intelligence.

7We share similar philosophies of life or spiritual beliefs

8We share the same sense of humour

9My partner's health is good, I would describe them as a happy person & I don't think he/she is likely to suffer from depressions, obsessions, eating disorders, excessive anxieties or mental health problems.

10My partner is sensitive and kind and not selfish or self-obsessed.

11If I lived in a society where parents arranged marriages for their children, my partner is just the kind of person my parents might have chosen for me.

12We have a lot of conversational interests in common, I enjoy his/her conversation on a variety of topics and I like his/her friends

13Judging by track record to date, my partner is monogamous when in a serious relationship.

14We agree on the extent of freedom within marriage as regards other relationships and I therefore don't think jealousy will be a problem for either of us.

15Our sexual relationship is extremely good.

Scoring
Take away 5% if you have lived together for less than six months. 

If you are less than 70% compatible you may well have to struggle hard to maintain a long-term relationship and might be well advised to delay having children for several years until you are sure that the relationship will work out.

Less than 50% compatibility could be a sign not to rush into marriage.

If you received a poor score or it was not as good as you expected you might need assistance from a pre-marriage educator. For more information about Pre-Marriage courses visit here, or for more general Pre-Marriage education information visit here.
