To total your score, give yourself:
5 points for every rarely - 3 points for every sometimes - 1 point for every frequently

If your score is 61 or above: 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. You’re well on your way to becoming your best selves together.

If your score is 36-60: You are 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 more often. 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.

If your score is 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 you agreed to marry him in the first place and start respecting him for those reasons, you can still have the marriage you always dreamed was possible. You won’t be sorry.


Thank you all for joining me in this series. I hope that everyone took at least one thing away from it and is implenenting it to better their marriages.
