Quiz: Are You Open with Your Partner?

10 Questions

Being honest and sharing your thoughts with you partner is vital for having a healthy relationship. Just communicating doesn’t mean you are doing well – many times, communication takes the form of criticism, listening just to judge the other person, and making insensitive remarks. Being open in a relationship refers to two different aspects – first, revealing your real opinions and concerns, and second, truly listening to your partner and accepting them as they are. This quiz will let you know how open you are with your partner.
