Marital Satisfaction Scale

A research-informed look at the strength of your partnership.

Healthy relationships are built on many things, including communication, emotional understanding, shared responsibilities, and the ability to navigate conflict together. This marital satisfaction test offers a structured way to reflect on how your partnership is functioning across these core areas.

Rather than focusing on one issue alone, the questions look at the overall experience of being in your relationship — from feeling understood and supported to how decisions, finances, and daily responsibilities are handled. Your responses can help highlight strengths, as well as areas that may benefit from greater attention or conversation.

If you’re interested in exploring related dynamics, you may also want to take our Relationship Satisfaction Scale or the Ineffective Arguing Inventory, which look more closely at emotional fulfillment and conflict patterns.
