I hope you’ve all completed the quiz; you and your spouse before checking back to see the scoring and a few of my thoughts.
Questions 1-3
The favorite color, movie and song should be basic things you know about your spouse. Give yourself 3 points for each one of these you got right. No extra points if it’s your special song. Scoring for both Q4 and Q5
a. 4
b. 5
c. 3
d. 2
e. 1
You’ll notice that always doesn’t get the top points, because no matter how close you are and how well you know each other, you won’t always get it right. Mostly is the more realistic answer.
Q6 and Q7. Scoring
a. 0
b. 1
c. 2
d. 4
e. 5
f. 1
Yes, I know there’s no 3 and two 1s. I think it’s important to tell your spouse u you love them often.
Q8
a. 0
b. 2
c. 2
d. 4
e. 4
People show love in various ways, a hug, a kiss, by doing the washing up or mowing lawns or other jobs around the house. There are lots if other ways to show someone you love them.
Q9. Finishing each other’s sentences can be amusing and mean you have been together a long time and know each other well. It can also be annoying if it is overdone and a person never gets to finish their sentence, so occasionally is the only answer that scores points on this one. 3 points.
Q10.
a. 0 Are you kidding/? If you think they’re perfect, you’re living in a fantasy world. And not being realistic.
b. 5 points
c. 3
d. 0 It sounds like there’s more than a few problems if you think your spouse is that bad. You both need to work on your relationship and personal issues,
Q11 Score 3 points if you knew the answer to this.
Q12.
a. 2
b. 5
c. 4
d. 0
e. 0 If sex is the only thing you enjoy together I’d be concerned about the relationship.
Lack of common interests can be a cause of marriage break ups.
Q13.
Saying sorry should never be one sided and left to one person all the time. It should vary between both of you with both keen to make up. So 5 points for d. All other answers 0.
If you answered we never argue, or we just move one it sounds like a lot of things get swept under the surface and not dealt with, which is not good for a marriage. Disagreements aren’t always bad. They can be a healthy sign.
Q14
Whether you go to church or not is between you and God. However it is healthier for a marriage if the couple has similar views and core values. It can create enormous difficulties in relationship and family situations and tensions if one goes to church and the other does not. So, score 2 points for mostly and 1 for sometimes and 1 for occasionally. 0 for never.
Q15 Score 2 points if you knew the answer to this and another 3 if you honestly answered recently for the question.
Q16. Score 2 for the first part and anther 2 if you have the same goals.
So how did you do?
If you score 55-65 It sounds like things are going along swimmingly in your relationship and you are well suited to each other.
40-55 There are a few areas that could be improved but still lots that is going right.
30-40 A number of areas need to be worked on
Under 30- Your marriage needs a lot of work and time put in to making it better.
I’d love to hear any responses to this quiz.
