This Self-Evaluation Question-and-Answer Book is dedicated to the readers and supporters of the Empty Pillow series. This questionnaire is not designed to diagnose any potential relationship issues. However, if there are any relationship issues, seek professional counseling. I pray that you know lasting peace within a healthy and fruitful relationship. Take the time to evaluate yourself in a nonjudgmental fashion. You may discover a different side of you that you never knew existed. Look at everything from an introspective and objective point of view and be mindful while going through the self-evaluation. This self-evaluation booklet will consist of multiple-choice, true-or-false, yes-or-no, fill-in-the-blank, and short-answer questions. Additionally, some answers will be at the reader’s discretion. Moreover, this self-evaluation booklet has five spaces for personal questions and/or thoughts at the end of each section.
When answering the questions, do your best to provide you own real-to-life responses. Enjoy discovering the best of you!
