What Your Score Means
10 to 16: Where's the Passion?
Instead of fanning the flames of desire, it seems like you're always trying to stifle the yawn that is your relationship. Are you and your partner just currently experiencing some downtime in your relationship? Or has it always been like this? If you're satisfied, that's one thing, but if you want to add some passion to your love life, try some new activities. For example, maybe you could plan for a secret rendezvous so you can look forward to getting away together. Try sending each other racy letters or voicemail or email messages to keep the spark alive when you're not together.
17 to 23: Passion Potential
There are some sparks, but it wouldn't hurt to go foraging for some kindling. To promote passion, you need to learn to be better partners to each other. Improving your communication with your partner will intensify your relationship, because you'll be better able to fulfill each other's needs. Try to spend more time in physical contact with each other, even if you're just holding hands. When you ignite relationship, you'll want to spend as much time as possible together.
24 to 30: Pure Passion
You've hit the passion-prize jackpot! You and your partner seem committed to developing an exciting relationship, one that is unlikely to fizzle out. To maintain this level of vigor, you and your partner should continue to try new things and keep the communication lines open. By consciously striving to keep things exciting, dynamic and passionate, you're working to ensure a long-lasting and satisfying relationship.
