You know your partner is a consultant when he or she...

Referred to the first month of your relationship as a "diagnostic period".

Talks to the waiter about process flow when dinner arrives late.

Takes a half day at the office because, "Sunday is your day."

Congratulates your parents for successful value creation.

Tries to call room service from your bedroom.

Ends any argument by saying, "let's talk about this off-line."

Celebrates anniversaries by conducting a performance review.

Gives you a Valentine's Day card with bullet points.

Refers to marriage as a "win-win proposition.
