Next are a number of statements that people have used to describe their relationships with their partners. I will read each statement and ask you to give the answer that best describes how much you agree or disagree in general with each one as a description of your relationship with your partner. If you do not now have a partner, think about your last one. There are no right or wrong answers; just choose the answer that seems to best describe how much you agree or disagree with it.
