Testing our love.

This was from a recent article on MSN. HB and I want to spice it up...so we read it together.

HB says - I say:

1. Never underestimate the power of a compliment.
I: That means tell me I'm pretty.
HB: I thanked you for finding my socks.

2. Sex: Just do it
I: See - I told you.
HB: I don't work well under pressure.

3. Listen more, talk less.
I: Exactly.
HB: I'm sorry - did you say something?

4. Sweep your problems (the little ones) under the rug.
I: Last time I tried that you yelled at me.
HB: I couldnt understand why you didnt get the dustpan.

5. Treat your love like a cherished friendship
I: Your my friend.
HB: Your my friend to..does this mean I don't have to ask you to marry me?

6. To change your relationship, change yourself.
I: See - proper grooming is required.
HB: I change my underwear everyday.

7. Watch out for harsh comments—they hit harder than you think.
I: HB, remember when you said that thing to me...?
HB: Is this stupid quiz almost over.

8. Don't knock it till you've tried it...twice.
I: I told you we could give it another try.
HB: I think I broke something last time. No thank you.

9. Be the first to offer the olive branch.
I: I apologize all the time
HB: As you should.

10. How to be a couple and still be free.
I: I agree...to a point.
HB: This quiz is getting better.

11. Fight for your love.
I: Would you fight for me?
HB: Depends on how big the guy is.

12. Sex matters; couple time matters even more.
I: Cuddling is key.
HB: Does this entail eating by candlelight so I cant see my food?

13. Don't get caught up in right or wrong.
I: Because I am always right.
HB: This quiz is starting to suck again.

14. Feed your relationship.
I: Want to go to dinner?
HB: Yeah - Im hungry.

15. Words are like food—nurture each other with good ones.
I: Let me think of something nice to say...
HB: You are like my favorite dish of baked ziti.


16. Never mind equality; focus on fairness.
I: I do the dishes.
HB: I take out the trash. Somehow it doesnt seem fair.

17. Remember that you were partners before you were parents
I: This doesnt effect us.
HB: NEXT.
