FOCCUS TEST!

dont worry the test is easy it just ask you questions if you agree disagree or unsure. then they score it on what the answer should be and then you will talk about how to change thoses things.


No worries!

The FOCCUS test is a multiple choice test - you have 3 possible answers, i think they were agree, disagree, and unsure. It is fine though - you will probably just take the test tomorrow, and go over it another time. FI and I took the test in November and still haven't gotten the results!

don't worry about it...it's actually a really great test to take because it gets u talking when u get the results.. it covers everything from moral point of views, having kids, household chores, bills...it covers a lot of things u'd never think to talk about...it's ur chance to be honest SO ANSWER TRUTHFULLY! i know in our marraige class there were some couples that answered how they thought their spouse would and they actually did worse...so just be honest & dont freak out. its the easiest thing in the world - general questions - and like i said, when u get the results it get's ya talkin'

good luck! let us know how it goes!

Do all churches give the FOCCUS test?

Just about all of them do-I think its a requirement.
Its not that bad, its bascially about different aspects of your relationship and they go over with you the ones you differ on. DH and were on opposite ends of the spectrum but when we sat and went over it afterwards the lady we worked with laughed b/c we were just reading the questions a different way but in actuality did agree.

this is usually the case...we had this problem too & so did so many other couples! they try to trick u with double negatives and such... but that's why they go over everything with u once u get the results back...

Hi, we would like to get married at St. Joseph's in Babylon as well. Do you know if they charge extra for pre-cana? And if I can ask you what % are you planning on giving the priest?

They told me to give him what ever I could afford...I feel like telling them after their fees I can't afford anything!!!

I love the church! It's beautiful, and they are all so nice. My FH is not catholic and they were ok with that. In my opinion, they are extremly expensive..that is the only thing I am having a hard time with so far.
