About this test
Marital satisfaction is a multidimensional concept that goes far beyond simply feeling happy together. Inspired by the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) developed by Graham Spanier, this 30-question test explores four fundamental dimensions of couple life: dyadic consensus (your level of agreement on important matters), dyadic satisfaction (your overall contentment and the stability of the bond), dyadic cohesion (shared time and activities), and affectional expression (tenderness and physical intimacy). Each dimension is assessed in depth to give you an accurate, nuanced portrait of your relationship. The results will help you move from a vague feeling to concrete, actionable insights to strengthen your relationship.
Dimensions assessed
- ●Dyadic Consensus- Level of agreement with your partner on important matters of shared life: finances, chores, values, decisions.
- ●Dyadic Satisfaction- Overall contentment with the relationship, stability of the bond, and absence of temptation to break up.
- ●Dyadic Cohesion- Shared time, common activities, and the feeling of being a real team in daily life.

Daily-life situations this test explores
To help you picture what to expect before you start, here are the concrete contexts the Dyadic Marital Satisfaction sheds light on. This is not the list of questions (you discover them when you start the test) — it is the life situations it assesses.
At the start of a relationship
Your first instincts when attracted: opening up fast or holding back, idealizing or doubting, chasing or running away.
In conflict
How you handle disagreement: avoiding, exploding, shutting down, seeking immediate reconciliation, or ruminating for days.
When the other person pulls away
Your reactions to absence, silence, distance: anxiety, control, withdrawal, apparent indifference, constant need for reassurance.
In emotional intimacy
Ability to say what you feel, to receive what the other feels, to welcome vulnerability without fleeing or judging it.
The actual questions are not shown here: you discover them when you start the test (free up to question 5).
