Hey Gert -Don't worry about asking questions. I can tell you will be a great participant in this beautiful artform, astrology.
I'm learning too, and so are other people who've studied this for decades. It's a neverending process, and astrology allows you room for interpretation.
From what I've learned regarding your question, the Inner Planets have more to do with getting along, sort of day-to-day. The Outer Planets (or Slower Planets), have more to do with one's overall outlook of life, and the outside world. So you may get along really well for a while when the Inner are all getting along. But if you care about security, longevity, long-term values, then the Outer will indicate that.
For example, I like to look at Saturn in relationships because it will tell me how long a person is willing to stick it out in order to make things work, or to see things (like our relationship) to completion.
