Roy & I are often asked for premarital/relationship advice. Perhaps it’s because we have been married for 30 years, and we were engaged before our first date. Yes, you read that correctly! But that’s a subject for another blog post, or maybe I’ll write a book and submit it to the Hallmark Channel. I will say that it is a lovely story of God’s design.
Great Relationship Quizzes
One of the first things I like to do when having a discussion with anyone about the ingredients for healthy relationships is to share about these great relationship quizzes. I have been fascinated with personality profiles since I first learned about them as a Sociology/Counseling major in college. Back then it was Florence Littauer’s Personality Plus system, and now I use the DiSC personality profiles.
Over the years it has not been uncommon for me to talk about DiSC profiles and love languages by drawing on paper napkins in a restaurant to anyone who would listen! I believe once people have a better understanding of themselves and those they come in contact with, there can be a greater chance for harmony in the relationships.
Here are links to the free quizzes that I found online.
Love Languages
Apology Languages
DiSC Personalities
Dressing Your Truth

For those who go through our premarital sessions through our church, the subsequent sessions are based on Biblical principals. Once they have taken the quizzes and we’ve gone over them, we share a flyer covering the DiSC 4-Personality Descriptions for easy reference.
The beauty of taking these quizzes and understanding them often leads to better relationships with other family members and coworkers as well as with each other. Have you used these quizzes and had great results?
Contact me for my workshop Cooking Up a Healthier Life: the “Recipe” for Relationship Success I combine personality (DiSC profiles), partnership (love & apology languages), and presentation (body language & clothing choices) to help people learn to communicate better and create relationships they’ll savor.
