Scoring

Count the number of 'A's' you scored. A perfect score is all A's. If you scored between six and eight A's: "That means your relationship is in pretty good shape," says Dr. Hernandez. A score between four and six A’s, means you might want to take a closer look at your relationship, while Four A’s and below, means "Definitely question your spouse," says Dr. Hernandez.
