Taking an “Are you ready for marriage” quiz is a good starting point to find out if you’re prepared to tie the knot, or if your better off waiting. Although the results of the seemingly vague questions will likely give you a sense of relief it is intended to make you think about things that you may not have given much thought to. Many of these little things can sometimes blow up into a big issue later in the marriage.

Although the typical “are you ready for marriage” quiz is usually meant for entertainment and can be a lot of fun, the problem occurs when people take them too seriously. A woman, especially, who is desperate to find a mate and settle down, will look at the questionnaire, manipulate the answers to suit herself, and end up marrying the first available man who comes along. Big mistake! The whole idea of the quiz is that you provide honest answers and really think about the questions and your commitment level to the relationship. The questions are usually focused on the main issues that everyone needs to address before they get married. These issues include the following:

1. Your ability to compromise (not be selfish)
2. Your willingness to let go of control (submit to each other)
3. Your life focus and your similar and compatible life goals
4. Financial stability (necessary resources)
5. Agreement on Issues: religion, kids, family, and commitment
6. Awareness of your partner’s quirks and willingness to accept them
7. Level of trust and openness to discuss anything in the relationship
8. Ability to handle conflict and disagreements without fighting
9. Freedom from all of your past relationships
10. Faith in your relationship (commitment to make it work)
