Every once in a while we meet someone who seems absolutely perfect for us. But then you are not quite sure if they are The One. How do you judge whether this person is right for you or if you two are just not meant to be? Well, the simple thing to do is ask your partner certain important relationship questions. Once you take a look at the questions, you will have a fair idea of what you believe is an acceptable answer. If your partner’s answers do not match up to your expectations for more than 70% of the questions, you might have to reconsider this relationship.

What was your longest relationship and why did it end?

A guy or girl need not have been in a relationship that lasted ages, but if their relationships usually last only a couple of months, it could be something to worry about. Also, listen to what they say about why it ended. If they seem to constantly blame the other person… it could be a sign.

What do you expect from our relationship?
Love, marriage, sex, money, stability, security etc etc? Whatever the answer to this dating question, it should match your expectations too.

What is your biggest relationship fear?
If they believe getting too serious is scary and you are looking for commitment, you will be grateful you asked this important relationship question.

A few things you’d like to do before you die?
The answer to this relationship question not only tells you more about your partner but might also help you judge if you could possibly have common goals in the future?

What makes you laugh?
Laughter often keeps a relationship together but hopefully you both will laugh about the same things too?

Are you close with your family?
This is an important relationship question. Both of you should value family equally. If you both prefer to distance yourselves from your family, then you are ideally matched too!

Is education important to you?
Once again, you need to ask yourself this question first. Once you know your answer you will know whether or not your partner’s answer satisfies you.

Have you ever been arrested?
It may not be important to everyone… but it is a dating question worth asking anyway.

Do you have any addictions?
Drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, work, sex/porn, video games, internet etc? Of course you might not get a direct answer… but you might get hints from the way they respond to your question.

Is politics important to you?
For some people there political opinions are very important to them, so you might like to consider this one seriously.

Apart from the 10 questions mentioned above, here are some more relationship questions you might want to ask your current partner.

• What would the one thing you would change about your life?
• What do you do for fun?
• Do you believe in God?
• What are your religios beliefs?
