I want to be upfront with you...

"Are we really compatible?" you might be asking yourself.

You could be asking this for fun. But, you could equally be wondering if the two of you are really suited to each other because you're having some  problems.

One or both of you may be wondering: "Can we make it together and survive troubled times?"

The free relationship quiz further down has questions based on my experience as a professional couples counsellor.

But why stop there?

What if you wake up one day next to the person you once thought the world of and suddenly find yourself wishing they were someone else?

I'm hoping that with this article I can help you. I'm aiming to help you figure out if the two of you really are compatible, and whether committing yourself to marrying your partner - or staying married - is a relatively safe bet (it can't ever be guaranteed of course).

For a full picture of all that your relationship entails, take my Comprehensive Relationship Test

Dating? First relationship? Engaged to be married? Second marriage?

Regardless of whether or not you've been married before, if you're in a serious relationship I totally understand that you (and perhaps your partner) want to get an idea of how compatible you really are.

You'll want to gain some insight into your partner's personality and character traits, beyond the obvious. You'll absolutely need to know if you've netted yourself an incompatible partner, however amazing the chemistry between the two of you might feel.

If you happen to have been in a bad relationship before, you'll be even more interested in the outcome of the marriage compatibility test, I'm sure. You'll probably have had a rotten time before and you'll want to prevent it from happening again if you can.

If, by any chance, you're having relationship problems at the moment, a compatibility test might not be the best, or only, resource you need. Be sure to hop over to my signpost article on the most common relationship problems. And just in case - if you haven't a clue where the problem really lies, take a look at my article on problem solving strategies. It will help you to pinpoint what's really going on.

Whatever your situation, you'd be right to mistrust any horoscope you read or any numerology/zodiac/name compatibility test or quiz you take. And you wouldn't want to rely on any astrological charts, psychic readings or dubious fairground fortune tellers predicting your future together either.

You might have total faith in the law of attraction. However, I strongly urge you not to rely on anything other than any personal responsibility for your future happiness.
