Couples come in many shapes, sizes, and can be composed of young and old, married and single, friend and foe. Keeping this in mind, we have questions and quizzes to help you strengthen your couple relationship, move it forward, or possibly (depending on the answers!) end it.

We begin with a section designed to answer the question, “How well do you know your partner?” The questions are for you to answer and will help you determine just how much you actually know about that important individual. Next, we have a Partner Quiz with questions you can ask each other to delve deeper into who you are and what you think and believe. Our Relationship Quiz Questions assume you are in a committed relationship and want to really know everything possible about your significant other. The article ends with our Couples Quiz, a “Yes” and “No” quicky perfect for any couple situation – a first date, a quick “Getting to Know You” game, or a fun springboard to longer conversations. Ask away and discover more about yourself and the person you care about.
