Your responses in this category reflect your satisfaction with
how you handle leisure time as a couple, including how much total
time you spend together and your various hobbies and leisure

    Your responses in this category reflect your skill at dealing
with finances and goals as individuals and as a couple. Your
"~bpositive~b" response percentage indicates the degree to which you
have discussed and agree on various issues.

    The questionnaire statements in this category are handled
differently from those of the other categories. Your responses to
these statements indicate whether you tend to take a more
traditional or more egalitarian view of male/female relations. The
crucial factor is not which view you take, but whether or not your
view more or less agrees with that of your partner. Consequently
two similar responses by both partners are treated as a "~bpositive~b"
couple response, while a disagreement is treated as a "negative"
couple response.

your relationships with friends and family.

realistic attitude. Low percentage couples may wish to reexamine
all of their responses to the Heart-to-Heart questionnaire.

    This is another important category, especially for premarital
couples. A low "~bpositive~b" response rate may indicate unrealistic
expectations about relationships, these expectations can be a
source of friction later on.
