    Go out anyway.
    Think something along the lines of "Big baby!" and go out anyway.

  4. Stressful life changes and loads of work have put your relationship on the back burner. In fact, you haven't had sex in a month. It seems that things have gotten distant between you two. What would be your most likely approach?

    Arrange for a counselor-seems there's work to be done.
    Meet with your partner and try to figure out ways to rekindle the relationship.
    Eliminate some of your responsibilities so you can have more time for your partner.

  7. You and your partner have been dreaming of going to a certain tropical island. On your way home from work, you notice a poster advertising a fabulous deal to that very island paradise. Everything is perfect. You can easily afford it and the dates of departure and arrival are totally feasible. The only thing is that you have to book the tickets now (for a vacation date 6 months down the road), and there is a pretty hefty cancellation fee. Do you make the reservation:

    For the two of you
    For yourself
    I don't make the reservation---I can't make up my mind
    I do make the reservation, but to be on the safe side I arrange for separate rooms
    I do make the reservations, but as two separate vacations (each of us would go alone) during two different times (with no overlap)

  8. You are hunting for a new place to live. You discover a gorgeous apartment that is about 30% over your budget. Your lover suggests renting it together - that way, you could easily afford it. What is your reaction?
