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

You could be asking this for fun. However, underlying this question I suspect, lies a fear and perhaps suspicion that you might not be suited to each other. Perhaps you're already having some relationship problems.

Your question is then: "Can we make it together and survive troubled times?"

The free relationship quiz further down has questions based on my experience as a couple counsellor. The questions point you to further relationship articles on my site, where you can find out more about a particular relationship issue. That way you can find out if the two of your are potentially incompatible.

Alternatively, you may be looking for fun relationship questions to spend a relaxed evening together enjoying yourselves. In that case download the free PDF with fun questions right from my page: Fun Relationship Quizzes.

But why stop there?

Would you not want to know if you're at risk of becoming a doormat, or finding yourself trapped in a dysfunctional relationship for any other reason?

What if you find yourself waking up one day next to a person you once thought the world off, but make now wish it was someone else)?

I'm hoping that with this article I can help you get a better sense of whether or not you're truly in a 'love' relationship. I'm aiming to help you figure out if the two of you are truly compatible and whether your committing yourself to marry your partner or stay married is a relatively safe bet.

Dating? First relationship or second marriage?

Regardless of whether or not you have been married before - if you are in a serious relationship I totally get that you want to get an idea of how compatible you really are.

If you happen to have been in an abusive relationship before, you'll be even more interested in the outcome of the marriage compatibility test, I'm sure. You'll have been traumatised before and you'll want to prevent it happening again if you can.

You would be right in mistrusting any horoscope or numerology, zodiac, name compatibility test or quiz. Neither would you want to rely on any astrological chart, psychic or dubious fairground fortune teller predicting your future together. Truly, your perspectives and understanding of who you are and where you will go are generated from within yourself - with a little guidance.

You might have total faith in the law of attraction. However, you can't allow yourself to rely on anything other than any personal responsibility for your future happiness.

You will want to have some insight into your partner's personality and character traits, beyond the obvious. You will absolutely need to know whether or not you've netted yourself an incompatible partner however much there's an 'amazing' chemistry between the two of you.

On this page are just some of the questions to help you contemplate how much you are suited to each other.

Making hard choices

Before you answer the questions though, I would like you to watch this short video about making hard choices - it's invaluable...

I so hope that you're not going to be one of them!

If you have already planned your wedding, you could even prevent yourself making the biggest mistake of your life.

In need of relationship advice?

It takes a bit of thinking doesn't it? But ask yourself how much time you've spend arranging a holiday, where you're going to live together or even planning your wedding.

I really hope you found it worthwhile going through this test if you are dating and wondering if you're compatible or if indeed you've decided to move in together or even get married.

Need a bit of help?

Perhaps you can ask a trusted loved one, but check out the potential pitfalls first. Alternatively you can connect - in confidence - with a professional, licensed therapist. For further information, see my page: Online Relationship Advice.
