Every marriage has its own share of problems. Marriage counseling has helped a number of couples with problems in their relationship. In 2003, the documented divorce cases dropped by 5.6 % in the US.
Counseling is carried out in a number of ways. Quizzing is one of the methods of carrying out counseling. With the help of a set of questions, the counselor tries to understand the differences amongst couples. The couples attempt the quizzes individually, as well as a team. The answers given are then evaluated. Numbers are given based on this. They are then grouped based on the points secured.
Quizzes on counseling are found in many books discussing counseling. With the spread of Internet, there are many sites offering invaluable advice on counseling. Quizzing and questionnaires are easy methods for a counselor to understand the problems faced by the couple. Quizzes, being short and playful, are welcome by the couple, rather than reading.
There are many self-help web sites that aim to identify the status of the relationship and evaluate what is lacking. The questions cover the entire gamut of the relationship.
Questions such as ‘Is your marriage in trouble?’ to ‘Given the opportunity, would you ever cheat on your partner if there was no chance that they’d find out about it?’ are eye-openers for many couples. These can be questions that require a one-word answer or part of a multiple-choice set. This is then categorized into various groups. Based on the answers, the kind of commitment to the marriage is worked out and can be a starting point to effect change.
Counselors, with the help of quizzes and questionnaires apply other procedures and therapeutic methods to family groups and couples. They may also make use of psychiatric resources, in case required. They guide the couples in the field of interpersonal relationships and teach them to be tolerant.
