What Does Your Score Mean?

35 Or Less

What intimacy?
You're probably wondering what the heck you ever saw in this guy! But not to worry - the tenderness you seek may just be dormant. If you can remember the reasons why you agreed to marry him in the first place, and start respecting him for those reasons, you can still have the marriage you've always dreamed of.

Start surrendering today. You won't be sorry.


36 To 60

Overworked and Underappreciated
It's hard to tell because you make it look easy, but you're doing too much, and you need a break. Start to take better care of yourself, and ask for help. Your vulnerability will be rewarded if your husband feels respected. Thank your husband for his contributions and you will be well on your way to igniting passion and achieving intimacy.


61 and Up

Congratulations!
Your marriage is very intimate and passionate. You found a man you respect, and the two of you have a positive impact on each other. This union is a healthy mix of individuality and togetherness. You're quick to apologize, and he adores you for it.
