How do you handle intimacy?

You are just about to go away for the weekend together when your in-laws ask if you can pop in and try and fix their computer. You:

All questions are required

Tell them you’ll go over on your way back
Suspect they are trying to ruin your weekend
Go over and see if you can help, but you’ll definitely leave straight afterwards
Go over and fix it and think about leaving after that

When it’s just the two of you, you often:

All questions are required

Use the time to talk and whisper sweet nothings
Talk about the problems you are having at the moment
Use the time for a bit of rest and relaxation
Rent a good film

It’s getting a bit steamy when suddenly the telephone rings. You:

All questions are required

Cut the call off straight away
Curse the intrusion
Answer it – it might be important
Pick up

How do you see the bed you share?

All questions are required

As a sacred place
As a refuge from the world
The only area that belongs to you and your partner alone
As a bed

Burping in front of your partner:

All questions are required

Is one of the worst passion killers
Won’t annoy them
Isn’t very polite
Is only human

You are going out to eat. You:

All questions are required

Dress up to seduce your partner
Would prefer to stay at home where it’s more relaxed
Think it would be more fun if you’d invited friends too
Are really looking forward to being served for a change

Your partner tells you about an unhappy memory. You:

All questions are required

Are upset on their behalf
Don’t know what you can do for them
Listen, and give them a cuddle
Tell them that you will always love them no matter what

The bathroom is for:

All questions are required

Secretly pampering yourself and preparing for seduction
Sharing. You hardly ever close the door
Taking a good long soak and relishing the time to yourself
One person at a time

Touching your partner tenderly means that you:

All questions are required

Love them
Are reminding them that you are there
Haven’t forgotten they are there
Want to make love

A couple’s worst enemy is:

All questions are required

A lack of imagination
Other people
Time speeding by
The tendency to act as one

Intimacy is:

All questions are required

A world of surprises
A security blanket
A miracle that’s all too rare
Sexual relations

What happens when the person who murdered your loved one is on death row? The psychology of grief, justice and closure

When someone is murdered, the grief can be devastating. But for families whose loved one’s killer spends decades on death row, the wait for justice can bring its own psychological challenges.
