Scoring
How did you go?
Now it's time to tally your score and face the truth. :-)
50-60: You have a healthy relationship that has all the vitamins and minerals it needs to grow up big and strong like a Flintstones kid!
There may be a few areas where things aren’t ideal, but for the most part you love and respect each other and have all the good qualities that make a relationship last.
40-49: Your relationship is doing pretty well despite a few sinful indulgences. You have a lot of great qualities that are signs of a healthy relationship.
Keep working at the areas where you feel you are lacking and you will do well! Remember, the occasional sinful indulgence is fine, but if it becomes a habit, you’ll start wearing it on your thighs like too much carrot cake.
30-39: Your relationship is okay, but it’s not great. Sure, you can get all your nutrition from a microwave meal, but it’s really not what you want to eat for the rest of your life now, is it?
There are many areas that are red flags for disaster and if you don’t take care of them now, they’re just going to get worse.
Under 30: Your relationship is about as healthy as a vat of French fries covered in mayonnaise.
Seriously, you have some major work to do to get it to be even remotely healthy. Is it you? Is it your partner? It’s time to do some major detective work to get to the bottom of things and decide if your relationship is worth saving.
