Signs of a Healthy Marriage Quiz
Believe it or not, of the 2 million marriages to be performed this year, more than one-third of them will end in divorce or annulment. Even sadder still is the estimate that about 30 percent remain together – unhappily.
Indeed marrying the right person and maintaining a honeymoon romance is no easy matter. Even when glaring incompatibilities exist not even the wisdom of Solomon could persuade lovers lost in white heat to abandon their plans to tie the knot. So if you or someone you know is in love and about to take the plunge, here is a quiz that I found that may help to predict how things will work out.
