Let’s start with The Disasters:

  • They spend very little time together during a typical week
  • They become job-centered (him) and child-centered (her)
  • They talk mostly about their huge to-do lists
  • They seem to make everything else a priority other than their relationship
  • They drift apart and lead parallel lives
  • They are unintentional about turning toward one another

The Masters:

  • They say “I love you” every day and mean it
  • They kiss one another passionately for no reason
  • They give surprise romantic gifts
  • They know what turns their partners on and off erotically
