15 Questions to Ask Yourself About Your Relationship

"You can't have a relationship without any fights, but you can make the relationship worth the fight."


Let's be honest, being in a relationship can be challenging and comes equipped with its share of ups and downs. The best advice I can give is to not be afraid of asking questions. Most of the time, we don't ask because we're afraid of what the response will be, even if the answer is coming from within. I'm here to tell you that you're headed for a life of disappointment if you continue to stay silent.


The best way to learn and gain clarity is to ask questions. It will encourage you to take a more proactive approach to life. If you're currently in a relationship, sit by yourself, take a deep breath and investigate your thoughts and feelings. Once finished, take an honest look at your answers from the questions below. Hopefully they will lead you down the path of true happiness in your life.

1.) Do you completely trust each other?
2.) Are you satisfied with the intimacy you share?
3.) How often do you laugh together?
4.) Do you feel you have made personal sacrifices for the relationship? Has he/she reciprocated?
5.) Do you feel threatened when others find him/her attractive?
6.) When you think of him/her, do you smile?
7.) Is he/she your best friend?
8.) Does he/she accept who you are?
9.) Have you seen each other at your best and worst?
10.) What is the personal deal-breaker for you and have you over-looked it in your current relationship?
11.) When was the last time you spoke about a future together?
12.) What are your expectations of this relationship? Do they align?
13.) Is the amount of quality time sufficient? If not, have you compromised?
14.) Do you feel emotionally fulfilled in the relationship? How about aside from it?
15.) Can you say you're truly happy?

It's natural to look to outside resources (e.g., friends, family) to seek the answers you need to interpret how you feel about your relationship, however, only you and he know every aspect. So trust yourself, and your answers, and remember that what you deserve is far superior to your wanting to be in a relationship.

Hope this helps.
