Healthy Marriage Habits Quiz #3 – Self Regulation
Self-Regulation refers to a person’s capacity to stay calm, recognize that they are losing their cool before it’s too late, and regain their composure even under pressure.

Psychologists refer to this process as “flooding” and it causes a spouse to be rigid and reactive under pressure. But, if you can learn keep your Solution-Friendly Brain turned on, even in conflict, you can stay in control of the discussion even if your partner loses control of him or herself.

Healthy Marriage Habits Quiz #4 – A Positive Intention Frame
Having a positive intention frame allows you to feel comfortable making mistakes in front of each other because you know that each of you is trying your best and that you will both tolerate each other’s lapses and offenses and refuse to see missteps as intentional slights. Research shows that couples who tend to assume the best about each other avoid conflict more and handle conflict more gracefully when it arrives on the scene.

Healthy Marriage Habits Quiz #5 – Caretaking in Conflict
The most important thing in problem-solving is not, actually, solving the problem. Rather, it’s how well you take care of each other as you work together to find solutions to the problem. Think about it. If you manage to find a solution to a particular challenge in your life or relationship, but walk away from your conversation with your spouse feeling demoralized, resentful, exhausted and out-of-synch, what good is it? Solving problems is important, but how you solve those problems is even more important. Caretaking in conflict allows your brain and your spouse’s brain to overcome strong emotions that are obstacles to solutions. How important is developing this skill to your marriage?

Healthy Marriage Habits Quiz #6 – Mutual Respect, Accountability & Boundaries

This willingness to listen and even submit to one another–especially under stress and pressure–is what marriage therapists call the fondness and admiration system.

Decisional Forgiveness Quiz
St Augustine said, “Forgiveness is the act of surrendering one’s natural desire for revenge.” Augustine saw forgiveness as the first step toward full reconciliation. Like Augustine, modern psychologists consider forgiveness to be a two-step process that can be broken down into Decisional Forgiveness and Emotional Forgiveness. Decisional forgiveness is the first step. It has to do with your commitment to stop wishing ill on the offender. By contrast, Emotional forgiveness has to do with the degree to which you feel you have been reconciled to the person who hurt you and/or have made peace with the injury that occurred. Take the following quiz to see how far along the first step of forgiveness you are.
