FUN RELATIONSHIP
QUIZZES
For a relaxing evening in
Every conversation and experience you each have, every programme you
watch, everything you read and every course or seminar you attend changes
something in you.
So, here are some fun relationship quizzes to keep you and your partner
entertained for a while.
Getting started
As a couple counsellor I often encourage people to set aside one evening a
fortnight (at the very least!) to spend quality time together. That means the
children (if you have any) are sent to their room with a tray of 'goodies' or if
possible you arrange a babysitter.
If you're staying in, make sure the TV and doorbell are switched off and the
phones are left on voicemail and/or silent.
All of these fun and punchy relationship quizzes have questions to spark a
‘good old natter’ and create a laugh whilst you’re closely cuddled up on the
sofa, out at dinner or maybe even out on a picnic.

Don't argue about the answers though - each one of you is entitled to your
opinion and you can't change your partner, however vigorously you argue your
point!
You might think some of the questions are just too simple, while others may
seem impossible to answer for either one or both of you. Be sure to keep it
light and just move on to the next question if you haven't a clue on how to
answer. Answer the questions by telling a story
You can answer some questions just briefly, but those that ask you to recall a
memory on the whole lend themselves to telling a story.
Let’s take the example of having the worst meal you’ve ever had in a
restaurant (in the hope that you can now look back on it without becoming
upset!):
… how the idea of going there came about… who you went with… the
anticipation of what it would be like… eating the meal… everyone’s reaction…
what you (and others) did next… etc
Imagine yourself at the actual event - see what you saw then, hear what you
heard then, feel what you felt then.

One caution! Do this only with funny or enjoyable memories. Don’t put yourself
back in that position if it was a very stressful or even traumatic event!
Asking “Why?”
To further deepen the conversation, if you’re the one listening to the other’s
story, you could ask “Why?” at appropriate moments to help the other expand
and explore their story.
Be careful how you ask that question though. In a certain tone it could sound
accusatory (you’re wrong), derogatory (intentionally offensive, belittling) or
contemptuous (I’m better than you).
So, ask the ‘why question’ in a way that conveys curiosity, genuine interest or
concern and at appropriate moments that won’t be taken as interruptions.
… “Tell me more!”… “Can you say a little more about that?”… “Wow! I’m
interested.”… “So, you mean…?”… “How did that happen?”
Ready to go?
Be sure to make it memorable. All of the funny and interconnected moments
you share while exploring these questions will help build credit in your
‘emotional bank account’. Having a healthy credit means that if there is trouble
between the two of you, it’s much more likely to be easily repaired.
