Relationship Worksheets

A "Relationship Worksheet" sits deep in a long list of questionnaires, worksheets, and infosheets available from CMHAMJ (that's the Canadian Mental Health Association Moose Jaw). Quick sampling:

 1. What qualities first drew me to my partner?
 2. What troubling qualities does my partner have that are similar to my early caretakers?
 3. What qualities does my partner have that I think I lack?

Those three alone could keep you busy for a while.
