MARRIAGE COMPATIBILITY TEST -
FUN STUFF
Before you say "I will", there are a few things you might want to know about your intended that aren't covered in the 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. Answer the questions individually, then compare your responses and enjoy a laugh together.
