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 doesnt 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 form a compromise that you can both agree with.
All relationships require 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 simply means that you are on the right track and are likely 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 that setting up any other type of goal. The largest difference is that you generally have to set your goals with the other person involved.
Setting relationship goals work for all types of relationships; be they friendships, family relationships, colleagues or partners.
You can try to set the goals and work on them yourself, but it will be very difficult and quite unsatisfying. That is why the key to setting relationship goals is to have the full co-operation and support of those whose relationships you would like to get the most out of.
Other than that, you can simply follow the steps by method of achieving your goals as is mentioned in the above section entitled, How to set goals effectively.
Mix leisure with work. Some of the things you wrote may begin creating a burning energy in your mind. Ask for their suggestions, but always make your own decisions. How long do we intend our relationship to last for example, do we want to get married? State each goal as a positive statement Express your goals in a positive way.
