Looking at your relationship without a verdict
A checklist cannot certify that a relationship is healthy.
Understanding the topic
It can be useful to choose what you want to discuss, without turning the answers into a pass-or-fail result. This article offers reflection, not certification.
What the research says
In Joel and colleagues’ analysis of 43 longitudinal studies, reported appreciation and perceived partner commitment were among the variables associated with relationship quality.

Limits of these findings
Associations do not identify causes or predict a particular partner’s behaviour. The study did not validate a checklist of healthy signs or a diagnostic threshold.
An optional starting point
You might note what you value and what you would like to revisit. If the issue involves threats, stalking or sexual coercion, the article on violence explains those behaviours and lists support in Poland. Neither this article nor a quiz replaces that support.
Key point
Takeaway
A reflection checklist cannot certify safety or diagnose a relationship.
