FUN STUFF - MARRIAGE
COMPATIBILITY TEST |
|
 |
Before you say "I will", there are a few
things you might want to know about your intended that aren't covered in the
pre-nuptial counseling. You might find that "I will" turns quickly to "I
will not!" or "Are you out of your mind?" There are no "right" or
"wrong" answers. This is just
for fun. Answer the questions individually, then compare your responses
and enjoy a laugh together.
