Do I Need Marriage Counseling [Quiz] — 54 Signs of Deteriorating Relationship

Do you need marriage counseling? The rule of the thumb is that if you are wondering about something like this, chances are that you do. Even good relationships could benefit from professional advice, even more so if things are less than perfect. Generally, one of the following behaviors or signs is a good enough reason to seek therapy:

  • 1. Negative interactions outnumber positive ones;
  • 2. Your partner is having an affair or might be considering it, and vice versa;
  • 3. You wish you were single;
  • 4. Your partner is physically abusive.

Obviously, in the last scenario you will need more than just a counselor, but talking to a marriage therapist alone and without your partner knowing is a good place to start and will help you deal with the problem in the safest way possible.

There is a lot of not-so-obvious signs as well, and you can find them in the quiz below. However, keep in mind that you possibly can’t make a perfect quiz for something like that. In fact, trying to do so would be irresponsible. Quizzes are based on scores: For example, 1-30 — bad; 31-60 — okay; 61-100 perfect. Imagine: If you score 31, you are told that your relationship is okay; but if you score 30, you are told you are in a big trouble. That is only one point difference; this obviously doesn’t make sense in real life.

So while we are going to calculate your score, please use common sense when deciding whether or not you need couple counseling or solo counseling. This quiz is designed to stimulate your thinking and organize your thoughts more than give you a definite answer. Ready? Let’s begin!
