Marriage Compatibility Rating Test

Instructions
When completing the pre-marriage test give marks out of 10 to the questions ('10 = Very True' down to '0 = Not True At All'). Print this sheet out and answer the questions as honestly as possible since you do not have to show the results to anybody else - there is nobody to deceive but yourself.

Please answer these questions and answer the pre-marriage questions honestly using the instructions below and then evaluate your score.

(0=NOT TRUE, MAYBE=5, 10=VERY TRUE)

1	There is very little conflict in our relationship
2	When there is conflict we handle it very satisfactorily.
3	I find myself agreeing with my partner far more often than disagreeing.
4	If my partner ended up developing a similar character to his/her parents, or became like them in old age, I would be very happy about this.
5	I feel that I can share all my feelings, good and bad, with my partner and that he/she does the same with me.
6	My partner is very similar to me in cultural, social, intellectual and economic background and probably in intelligence.
7	We share similar philosophies of life or spiritual beliefs
8	We share the same sense of humour
9	My partner's health is good, I would describe them as a happy person & I don't think he/she is likely to suffer from depressions, obsessions, eating disorders, excessive anxieties or mental health problems.
10	My partner is sensitive and kind and not selfish or self-obsessed.
11	If I lived in a society where parents arranged marriages for their children, my partner is just the kind of person my parents might have chosen for me.
12	We have a lot of conversational interests in common, I enjoy his/her conversation on a variety of topics and I like his/her friends
13	Judging by track record to date, my partner is monogamous when in a serious relationship.
14	We agree on the extent of freedom within marriage as regards other relationships and I therefore don't think jealousy will be a problem for either of us.
15	Our sexual relationship is extremely good.

Pre-Marriage Scoring
Take away 5% if you have lived together for less than six months.

If you are less than 70% compatible you may well have to struggle hard to maintain a long-term relationship and might be well advised to delay having children for several years until you are sure that the relationship will work out.

Less than 50% compatibility could be a sign not to rush into marriage.

If you received a poor score or it was not as good as you expected you might need assistance from a pre-marriage educator. For more information about Pre-Marriage courses visit here, or for more general Pre-Marriage education information visit here.
