2.      yes/no  Do you trust each other?

 3.      yes/no  Can you talk to your partner about anything, including sex?

 4.      yes/no  Do you feel safe and secure in your relationship?

 6.      yes/no  Do you enjoy spending time with your partner?

7.      yes/no  Do both of you spend time with your friends?

8.      yes/no  Are you happy in your relationship?
