2. Taurus Man
MyDomaine
A Taurus man is somewhat of a hopeless romantic. He might have lustful energy at times but ultimately if he is looking for a long-term future wife, he doesn't play any games making sure he finds the best. It's almost as if he has a mental checklist of what he needs and wants in a partner. When he finds the person who could be the one, he knows early on. He will woo you to no end and romanticize the hell out of you. He'll wine and dine and want to lock you in. You will feel comfortable and safe emotionally and physically with a Taurus man but due to his bull nature, he could be demanding at times and arguments could be intense. This is why he lands the #2 spot.

How To Connect With A Taurus Man:
Taurus Man Communication
A Taurus man is a man of the world, so he enjoys engaging conversations about any and everything under the sun. He likes to feel inspired in his conversations and is easily turned off by one-sided convos. He likes someone who can easily match his enthusiasm and knowledge. He is even up for a little intellectual or creative banter. He has a lot to say and many perspectives and views of various topics. If you are more of an easy-going conversationalist, then getting with a Taurus man will be a challenge when it comes to connecting through communication.
Taurus Man Trust and Commitment
A Taurus can be very analytical and break down relationships like a progress report. Due to this aspect, the trust and commitment builds with a Taurus like benchmarks or milestones within the relationship. By being cognizant that this is just how his mind works, you can better understand how to co-exist and build a strong foundation with your Taurus man. He also connects to trust and commitment by consistently having a lot of fun with you out in the world with the least amount of drama as possible. Taurus men love magical moments and love to feel like he is meant to be with you on a destiny-type level.
Taurus Man Sex
Though a Taurus man can be extremely romantic, when it comes to sex, he more so thrives off emotional and mental connection and intimacy. He's into passionate lovemaking where the tricks and sexual acrobatics are not top on his list. He enjoys spending whole days lost in the energy of just you and him. Going on little baecations and seeing other parts of the world together really turns him on. Being burnt out from just exploring together and ending with a soft and sweet nightcap is his kind of mood. Try making love under the moon on a cool breezy night over a chilled bottle of champagne.

Skylar sees things differently. At the time, she was shooting content on her iPhone. Temi came into the picture with a new perspective, an understanding of tech, and, eventually, a camera. “He doesn't give himself enough credit,” Skylar says. “He wasn't just my tripod. He wasn't just standing behind the camera and going ‘click.’ He was giving advice. He was giving me insight to how I could look at things from a different perspective. And I was like, 'Oh, he’s an artist.' I think it was maybe a heartbeat of that kind of energy of like, ‘Baby, can you take this picture?’ And it turned so quickly into, we're partners. We can work together in a way where we're advancing each other's creative thinking.”
The pair often says they’re two sides of the same coin. Skylar is an Aquarius. She attended art school, paints, and loves poetry. She’s more than happy to let the couple’s management firm and agency, Kensington Grey, handle their admin work. And, she loves to sleep in. Temi, on the other hand, wakes up early. He’s a Virgo. He loves a to-do list and regularly checks in on the couple’s brand partnerships spreadsheet to make sure everything is on track.
Because his storytelling was steeped in his love of technology, he didn’t always think of himself as a creative person. “Where I [am] the dreamer who wants to pluck things out of the sky and spend all day with my head in the clouds, Temi [is] so good at grounding me and helping me figure out how to make things make sense on paper. We just work together in such a complimentary way,” Skylar says.
It’s been more than six years since Brooklyn-based couple Temi and Skylar started dating, and nearly four since they cemented their working relationship. On TikTok and Instagram, the couple’s travel, fashion, and home content regularly rack up hundreds of thousands of views. They’ve worked with brands such as Coach, Aesop, Away, and Liquid IV, bringing their vibrant perspectives to every campaign they execute. Still, nearly two years since both Temi and Skylar committed to full-time content creation and creative directing, the couple says their romantic connection remains their priority.
“We told each other we would much rather go back to full-time jobs and preserve our relationship than to be full-time freelancers, barely getting a night's rest [and] barely kissing each other because we're so busy shooting,” Skylar says.
Working from home can make it hard to separate work from personal life for any entrepreneur. It can be even more challenging when your business partner is also your lover. Temi and Skylar had already used couples therapy as a tool to help them effectively communicate with one another. When they ran into challenges while working together, their therapist helped them set physical boundaries to help combat the issues.
"We told each other we would much rather go back to full-time jobs and preserve our relationship than to be full-time freelancers, barely getting a night's rest [and] barely kissing each other because we're so busy shooting."
“It actually took us doing very specific physical things to create boundaries between work and play in our relationship,” Skylar says. “So, for instance, we will only have conversations about work when we're out of bed or we're at the table or in the office. Initially, when we started, we had to light a candle to say that, 'Okay, this is a space where we're connecting, we’re not talking about work.' We needed really hard boundaries at the top. And then it became a little bit more organic.”
The boundaries have been crucial to implement, especially because the couple began working together so naturally. When the pair first met, Skylar was NY-based a social strategist for BuzzFeed and was using content creation to drive business to her lingerie company. She was shooting her own content. Temi was working for Microsoft in D.C. He’d recently traded in his DJing equipment for a camera. “I've always loved taking pictures,” he says. “Even when I was a kid, my African mother would wake me up at 3:00 a.m. [during a] party, and be like, 'Come take the family picture.'”
Growing up, Temi says he watched his parents support each other and be the true definition of partners. He knew he wanted the same for his own relationship. But, the couple also wanted to make sure they were being financially responsible. The pair didn’t quit their traditional jobs until they’d saved up two years' worth of their cost of living. And, Temi received his Master of Business Administration from New York University with the knowledge that it could either help him advance in his corporate career or be applicable to his business with Skylar.
Temi and Skylar

Today, they say their working relationship is more of a “quiet dance.” They still implement some of the boundaries they learned in therapy, but they also lean into their natural strengths and deep love for one another. When we speak, Temi has planned a date for the couple to see Princess Mononoke in 4K IMAX and added it to their Notion so they can factor it into their busy schedules. “I fully plan to date for the rest of my life,” he says.
Skylar says the couple doesn’t just wait for date nights to check in with one another, though. This often happens in the mornings, after Temi has made her peppermint tea and poured himself a cup of coffee. When they ask each other how they slept, she says, it’s not just a “nicety.” It’s a genuine question meant to foster connection.
“A lot of it happens during the day in the midst of work. We'll stop and we'll hug. Or we’ll slow dance in the kitchen,” she says. “Sometimes it's hard to set a whole date night when you have 7,000 things going on. So, we must grasp these moments and check in when we can. And I think it's become so organic to us that I actually didn't even realize how often we do it. But all day long, we're like, 'Are you good? I felt like your energy shifted,' because we're best friends, we just know. We just feel it happen.”
