No one and no relationship is perfect. Just as we all have room to improve our physical fitness and every single one of us could benefit from strength training, working on the "fitness" of our most important relationships is crucial to the long-term health of our connections with others.

Before getting started on a new path to improved wellness of any kind, it's important to find out your current fitness level so you know where you are doing great, where you're doing pretty OK and where you have room to improve.

The Relationship Fitness quiz can help you determine the strongest parts of your relationship — as well as where there is room for improvement.

This Relationship Fitness quiz assesses your fitness level in 25 key relationship skills, helping you gain deeper insight into what you and your partner already know how to do really, really well and what you each could use some work on.

Relationship Fitness is the overall health and strength of the relationships in your life.

This includes romantic relationships, relationships with your family and friends, relationships at work, and even your relationship with yourself.

It's easy to be motivated to get physically fit when we have some big event or the summer season coming up and want to look our absolute best. And as much as it's fun to see yourself looking better and better as you get into shape, it's how much better you feel emotionally, mentally and physically — as well as the benefits you reap toward longevity — that is the big payoff to getting physically fit.

The same is true when it comes to Relationship Fitness.

Researchers have proven that relationship fitness is more influential than both your physical and mental health.

“The longest-running study on adult development, the Harvard Study of Adult Development, followed multiple generations now, and the greatest predictor of your health at age 80 is the quality of your relationships at age 50," Mark Groves — Human Connection Specialist, founder of Create the Love, co-author of Liberated Love: Release Codependent Patterns and Create the Love You Desire — told YourTango's co-founder and CEO Andrea Miller.

During an interview for our upcoming free Relationship Fitness Summit where you can reserve your spot to transform yourself to feel the love, trust and abundance you deserve in your relationships from the comfort of your own home, Groves summed it up perfectly:

"Relationship mastery is the most impactful thing you’ll do in your life. It will transcend your mental health, your physical health, etc. Because when you do things like identify a pattern — I think it’s important to point out that often until we do it differently we see patterns as who we are, we see patterns as being beliefs about ourselves. Like ‘I am a perfectionist.’ No you’re not. You just developed perfectionism as an adaptive strategy.”

Despite how crucial healthy relationships are in our lives, there's no easy way to determine just how strong a relationship actually is — that's where the Relationship Fitness quiz comes in.
