I scored my DH and am too afraid to score myself. I am having him do it. :o) And by the way, my man rates 120. I am wondering why I have ever had a complaint!

...since you pointed out your husband's score, I'll say my husband was a 136. He is so woefully, inadequately matched. Poor dear, lol!

Have a great weekend, ladies!

My husband scored me. His score for me was lower than my own, and I thought I was being hard on myself! I have been eating humble pie for the past few hours. :o(
