How to Score: For every same answer give yourselves 1 point, and
for every different answer, take 1 point away.
If you and your partner score below 17, that doesn’t mean that you
should break up, it just means that you both have to sit down and
decide on your personal relationship goals together and come to a
compromise that you can both agree with.
Any relationship requires compromise by both parties if it is going
to succeed. You just need to re-evaluate what your goals are going
to be.
If you and your partner scored above 17, it means that you
are on the right track and are looking to get the same things
out of the relationship.
You will still have to compromise a bit (you are human) to keep the
relationship going, but you are heading in the right direction.
What you need to realize is that setting relationship goals is best
when both parties are involved in the process. If only one is
working for the betterment of the relationship, it is doomed to fail
anyway because one partner will always feel overworked in the
relationship.
Setting relationship goals is no different to setting any other
goal. The main difference is that you generally need to
set your goals together. Check out the page that details the
steps to achieving your goals.
You can set goals work for all types of relationships - friendships, family relationships,
and professional or business relationships.
Trying to set relationship goals individually can be difficult and unsatisfying. That is why the key to
setting relationship goals is to have the full co-operation and
support of those with whom you are in a relationship.
