How healthy is my attachment to my partner?

» Self Assessment » How healthy is my attachment to my partner?

Intimate relationships can be the source of tremendous joy, and both mutual and personal growth. But sometimes how we feel and behave in respect to our partner brings up our deepest insecurities and does real damage to the relationship, as well as to how we think about ourselves. Taking this quick and confidential self-assessment test can help you better understand how you and your partner relate to one another and whether or not codependency issues come up for the two of you.
