How Healthy is Your Marriage

by

Ok, so Ladies Home Journal has this online quiz.  I’m going to take it but first, I’m going to tell you that my marriage is fairly healthy.  In the grand scheme of things, I’d give it a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. I asked my husband who happens to be home today with a sick day and he said "7 or 8".  See, I am delusional. 

I’m going to take the quiz first and I may try to get him involved.  You can go take it as well, here.

Question 1:  We failed miserably.  Actually it wasn’t a good question fitting our family and lifestyle.

Question 2:  Spot on- we agreed

Question 3:  Again, we don’t go out without one another, so this doesn’t fit, but we both chose the same answer in a hypothetical situation.

Question 4:  We agreed with the key in this question being, "you an afford it" because the times we’ve had marital problems with spending was when we could NOT afford extras.

Question 5:  I definitely fail at this one miserably.  I am a story teller and love to make people laugh and the stuff my husband is down right laughable - he’s even laughing now that his answer to this question was the direct opposite of mine, lol.

Question 6:  The female instinct in me kicked in and I became immediately jealous and his answer was ‘kiss you goodbye and not worry anymore’.

Question 7:  We both answered this one the same but I’m not telling you which one right now.

Question 8: We agreed on this one out right, without a second nod.

Question 9:  I am the bully and the stubborn heifer in this couple, we agreed on what my decision would have been but differed on his.

Question 10:  This doesn’t fit us really because simply by process of elimination, we both came to the same answer.

Notice, I didn’t spoil the questions for you, you can take the test without any pre-fabricated ideas of what the ‘right’ answer should be.

Photo compliments of my new found love for my new camera. I will return to doing some professional work, just on a very low scale.  I did the engagement photos for this couple (she is my cousin) and this is no where near one of the best photos, but is just the epitome of respect in my opinion. 

If you want to see a favorite one, let me see…
