Are you marriage material?

Your score = 85

What does your score mean?
You're bound to have marriage proposals flying at you left and right when the world finds out what fabulous marriage material you are (if it's not happening already!). According to your score, you'd be an extremely giving, loving, attentive life partner to anyone you decide to devote yourself to. Your main goal in the relationship would be to make your spouse's life more comfortable, more enjoyable - an all-around marital heaven. If you've already tied the knot, your partner must be glowing over the great 'catch' they made. If you're still unattached, however, you are either the epitome of the perfect spouse or you have idealized hitched life to the point that you think it'll bring out this perfectly angelic side of your personality. Remember, marriage is real-life, and you will still have your own needs to satisfy. In fact, whether single or married, this is an important point to ponder; are you (or would you) constantly put your spouse's desires ahead of your own? Would you, for example, have a late night romp in the bedroom whenever your partner had the urge, even if you were exhausted or just not up to it? Would you give up things that were important to you just to please or spend more time with your spouse? This can be the dangerous side of 100% marital devotion - lose your sense of self, and the marriage itself can wither up. Maintain your identity and a level of independence and your marriage will be all the stronger for it.

Are you marriage material?

Your score = 55

What does your score mean?
You are (or would be) a wonderful life partner; one anyone would be lucky to have. You are able to give, to share, and make compromises for the good of your relationship. The fact that all of your answers were not what we might think a 'perfect' spouse would do (for example, giving in to partner's desires over your own needs) is actually a good thing - you are able to maintain a healthy balance between making your partner happy and maintaining your own sense of self-worth. Spouses who give up everything for their significant other (hobbies, friends, etc.) often end up building feelings of resentment and bitterness which can be lethal to any good relationship. Or they lose all sense of who they are, which can make a marriage wither away slowly until things just don't work anymore. This is not to say that being hitched does not require change, compromise and flexibility - but it should be a two-way street. The healthiest marriages are those in which both partners are willing to work together, to respect each other's needs and help their partner maintain their identity separate from the relationship. To quote Khalil Gibran, 'Love one another but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.' You've obviously got a head start on this wise perspective, now all you have to do is keep it up!
