WHAT YOUR SCORE MEANS

Scores of 16-20. Congratulations! You and your partner are building a
strong friendship and bond with each other. Your feelings of affection
and admiration for each other, the emphasis you put on knowing about what
is important to each other and your sense of unity all will help you
through the rough spots in your relationship.

Scores of 10-15. You have some good things going for you in your
relationship but you need to work on building and strengthening your
friendship. Happy couples have a deep sense of fondness and admiration
for each other. This fondness and admiration helps them discount the
times when their partner may be grumpy or thoughtless. Happy couples also
tend to put the relationship first and really think of themselves as a
unit. Knowing about each others' world is a real priority for happy
couples. They tend to know and care about little details such as what
kind of day you had at work, how your relationships are going with your
family and friends and other things that matter to you. Take more time
with your partner to know about what is important to each of you.
Remember to make your relationship a top priority. When you argue, and
all couples argue, remember it is the relationship that should win the
argument.

Scores below 10. It is time to take a hard look at your relationship to
see what you can do to improve it. Your relationship needs intensive care
if you and your partner don't feel fondness and admiration for each
other, if you tend to feel negative and depressed about your interactions
and if you don't feel as if you both take the time to really get to know
what matters to each of you.
