1. You love each other, but do you and your partner like each other?
  You like him a lot but often feel he doesn't like you.
  To be honest, you don't like each other much.
  Very much - you're best friends.
  Sometimes you don't like him, but only in passing phases.
 
2. How do you both handle money?
  There are points of friction, but you find a compromise.
  It can be hard - the difference between your attitudes is irritating.
  You can't talk to each other about money without getting angry.
  With ease - money never causes problems.
 
3. Do you talk and listen to each other equally?
  You don't really talk or listen to each other.
  Yes, you both listen carefully to each other most of the time.
  You listen when there's something important to be said.
  You end up doing most of the listening or talking.
 
4. Faced with a life crisis like redundancy, illness or bereavement, you...
  Both start to fall apart and life becomes a struggle.
  End up rowing because the strain gets too much.
  Stand together - when one feels overwhelmed, the other takes over.
  Tend to muddle on, trying to keep a stiff upper lip.
