A healthy relationship is based upon more than sparks in the bedroom (although that's important too!). Trust, tolerance, and good communication are just some of the ingredients that make a relationship mutually benefiting for you and your partner according to Diane Anderson, a Vancouver-based registered clinical counselor who specializes in love and relationships.

Take this quiz to find out whether your relationship is flourishing or on life support.

Question 1 of 6 1. You're upset that your partner has arrived home late - yet again! How do you deal? After confronting him you both go to bed angry and sleep it off. Neither of you mentions it the next day. You take a few minutes to gather your thoughts and then calmly lay out why you're upset, giving him an opportunity to explain himself after. A shouting match ensues, eventually followed by great make-up sex.
