Positioning form

Hi! This seems to be a really simple answer but I have been stuck for at least two days trying to figure this one out. I am trying to figure out how to move my form over to the right of my primary-content class.

My HTML is:

<div class="primary-content col">
<h2>A New Year<br>A New YOU</h2>
     <p class="intro">
        This year is about you looking and feeling your best. It's time to look in the mirror and go WOW! Here at Universal fitness with alittle help and guidance will make sure you walk out feeling and looking the best shape of your life. Let us help you get your year started on the right foot. <br> <a href="#">SIGN UP TODAY!</a>
        </p>
     </div>

 <form>
    <fieldset class="secondary-content col"> 
      <label>
        First Name
        <input type="text" name="first-name">
      </label>
      <label>
        Last Name
        <input type="text" name="last-name">
      </label>
      <label>
        Email
        <input type="email" name="email-address">
      </label>
      <label>
        Phone
        <input type="tel" name="phone-number">
      </label>
      </fieldset>
      <fieldset class="account-action">
      <input class="btn" type="submit" name="submit" value="sign-up">
    </fieldset>
 </form>

My CSS code for this is:

@charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */

* {
    box-sizing: border-box;
    }

html,
body,
.wrapper, {
    height: 100%
    }

/* Column Layout

secondary-content,
primary-content {
    display: inline-block;
    }

.primary-content {
    width: 50%;
    }

.secondary-content {
    width: 40%;
    }

Try this:

/* Column Layout
================================*/  

secondary-content,
primary-content {
    display: inline-block;
    }

.primary-content {
    width: 50%;
    float: left;
    margin: 0 2.5%;
    }

.secondary-content {
    width: 40%;
    float: left;
    margin: 0 2.5%;
    }

I added margin to separate the columns a bit.

Hope it helps.
