the truth, grim or otherwise, check out my scoring guide below.
SCORING
Each A = 3 points
Each B = 2 points
Each C = 1 point
Each D = 0 points
Mostly A's OR more than 30 points:
This shows your relationship is rock solid when it comes to sex
and romance.
If you have answered nearly every question with an A, then your
are probably as happy together as when you first met. The spontaneity
is still as sizzling as ever. In fact, you might be hard-pressed
to find any faults with your partner.
Mostly B's OR 20 to 29 points:
While you might not be as ecstatic as the people who answered A's
you are pretty content.
You still make love when one of you is in the mood - at least most
of the time.
To rekindle the passion you had at the start of your relationship,
try to do more romantic things with and for your mate.
Mostly C's OR 10 to 19 points:
This relationship is running into serious trouble, but it's not
too late to put things right.
While you often say you are too tired for love, you still find
the energy sometimes. Have you stopped talking to each other? Communicating
again may provide the opening to be more romantic with each other.
Mostly D's OR less than 9 points:
There isn't a lot of happiness in your relationship-for either
one of you. You probably argue over just about everything, especially
sex.
If you want to stay together, you will have to open the lines of
communication, since they have probably been closed for some time.
Talk honestly and tell each other what you really want and need.
Once you start talking again, you may see your partner as you did
when love was new. Then add romance back into your relationship
and you'll experience increased satisfaction with your mate.
