Your Test Results![]() Here's what your score means...
If you and your fiance both took this quiz, you may want to share your total scores. However, we suggest you exercise wisdom should you decide to share your individual responses -- especially your responses to question six (Question 6: I sometimes fantasize about marrying some one else). As this would only invite trouble. If you do share your responses, pick a time when you are both in a positive mood and can respond maturely.
Green Light: Keep on Truck'n
If you scored 10 to 14, you are likely ready to get married. But remember -- everything is subject to change. In the coming months, if you continue to nurture your relationship, be open and honest, and follow Godly principles, you'll be sure to have a happier, stronger marriage. However, you could head in the other direction if you fail to guard against the negative patterns of relating that are described in this quiz. The best time to improve your relationship in any area is when things are going well. So use this positive energy to turn a great relationship into a fantastic marriage! Achieve this, by strengthening your relationships with Christ, reading marriage books together, and getting pre marriage counseling.
Yellow Light: Proceed with Caution If you scored 15 to 19, you are not as ready for marriage as you might have thought. But even if you are happy, a score in this range indicates patterns you shouldn't ignore. Make time to discuss with your fiancee' what the two of you can do to improve your relationship.
Begin by identifying the positive aspects of your relationship. Next, look at the statements you ranked as "once in a while", "frequently", or answered "no" and make plans to address those areas immediately. For instance, if you have difficulty expressing how you really feel to your fiancee', or if the two of you sometimes say hurtfult things. It is essential that these issues be resolved. If neither or only one of you has a solid relationship with Christ, this has to change. Marriage is symbolic of Christ's relationship with the church. Therefore, He must have top priority in a Christian marriage. Finally, make plans to get premarital counseling if you haven't already done so.
Red Light: Stop
If you scored 20 to 30, you may be more in love with the idea of being married than you are actually prepared to be married. As a result, your relationship likely feels forced. There may also be other signs of dysfunction in your relationship such as frequent arguing, disrespect, unresolved anger or a growing sense of worry. Even if this is not the case, a score in this range indicates patterns you shouldn't ignore. Our advice is not to get married just yet. Consider stepping back from your relationship and reassessing your motives for wanting to be married. If neither or only one of you has a solid relationship with Christ, this has to change. Christ must have top priority in a Christian marriage. Should you decide to move forward with your plans to get married anyway, please do not do so without getting premarital counseling.
