i'm working on a survey about relationships and wanna make sure i don't miss any key points to cover - e.g. "sex" (quality of sex, compatibility, how often, etc.), "stability" (fear of partner leaving, etc.) and stuff. What are more topics you'd be really curious about?

Conflict. How often it arises, is it loving or bitter, intensity. How quick to resolve.

• Dating specifically to find marriage vs dating for no reason(to find affection).
• Non-mutual(alone) porn use among partners & correlations to other markers of health you can deduce from the survey like “sex” & “stability” & “whether dating for marriage or not”.

Political affiliation can be an easy question that can yield another set of corollaries for every other question asked.
Finding the family structure of each partner - two parent/single divorced/single deceased/mother/father will yield the same.

Feelings towards legal marriage. Do they feel comfortable flirting with other people or comparing notes on crushes or do they feel like that's disloyal. How similar their interests are. How similar their careers are. Religiosity. What coping mechanisms they use.

What qualities they thought they needed but turns out they can actually do without in a partner.

And you generally figure out the 3-5 things that really matter to you and then just make sure no total dealbreakers on the rest
