Before We Get Engaged

A proposal is a moment. Engagement is a period of decisions. Examine the partnership you are preparing to create.

25 questions, five subjectsImmediate conversation clarity indexNo email required; answers not stored

What this measures: How thoroughly you feel you have explored the subjects below. It does not measure your worth, diagnose any condition, predict relationship outcomes, or decide what you should do. A topic can be discussed and still be unsafe or unsuitable. If you experience threats, fear or controlling behaviour, prioritise independent specialist support over a score.

Section 1/5 0/5 answered

Question 1: How clearly have you considered what engagement means to each of you beyond wearing a ring?
Question 2: How clearly have you considered whether both people want marriage rather than merely a wedding?
Question 3: How clearly have you considered whether your relationship is moving at a pace you both freely chose?
Question 4: How clearly have you considered which unresolved concerns need attention before any proposal?
Question 5: How clearly have you considered how each person would feel about an engagement being delayed?

Answer all five questions to continue.

How scoring works: Each of the 25 answers contributes 0 to 4 points to a self-reported conversation clarity index out of 100. It is not a validated diagnostic, a compatibility score or advice to stay, leave, marry or have children.
