Thinking About Getting Married? You'd Better Take This 12 Question Compatibility Test First

Thinking about getting married?  Let's make sure you're really ready.  A British law firm put together this compatibility test, and they say that if a couple has agreed on the answers to all 12 of these questions, they're good to go.

(--Even though a British law firm put this together, it still applies over here.) 

#1.)  Do you know the extent of each other's assets and debts?

#2.)  Do you see eye-to-eye on saving money and how you'll share or not share the money you each earn?

#3.)  What sort of relationship do you want with both of your extended families?

#4.)  Do you want children, and how many?

#5.)  Do you want your children to attend private or public schools?

#6.)  Do you agree on what religion you will bring up the children, and how much of a role religion will play in your lives?

#7.)  Do you share common interests and like doing the same things on vacation?

#8.)  What kind of lifestyle are you aiming for, and where do you want to live down the road?

#9.)  Do you have any addictions your partner doesn't know about?

#10.)  Are your career paths compatible with each other . . . and compatible with having children?

#11.)  Do you want the "traditional" gender roles with a woman at home and a man working and making the money, or more "modern" shared responsibilities?

#12.)  Are there any exes you're still hung up on?

--Again, if you've revealed all of the secrets from this quiz, like debts, exes, and addictions . . . and you agree on the other points, like children, religion, careers, and money . . . then you should be all set as a couple.

According to DR. PHIL, by the time the average woman turns 60, she's told around 50,000 lies.  And by the time a man turns 60, he's told 100,000.  That's an average of six lies a day for men, and three a day for women.

--So here's Dr. Phil's list of the top four lies men and women tell each other.

#1.)  Number one for both men AND women is . . . "I'm fine".  So whether you're a man or a woman, if you say "I'm fine", it means you're probably NOT.  Here are the other three lies MEN tell . . .

#2.)  "That Doesn't Make You Look Fat."  Obviously, some lies NEED to be told.

#3.)  "This Is My Last Drink."  (--Phone Starter:  Do men really lie about drinking more than women do?  And do they actually drink more, or do they just want to stay out with their friends and hang out longer?)

#4.)  "I'm On My Way."  Guys will say it or text it when they're not even CLOSE to being on their way.

--And now here are the other three top lies WOMEN tell . . .

#2.)  "I've Got a Headache."  It's the easiest way to get out of basically anything, including sex.

#3.)  "This Dress Isn't New, I've Had It Forever."  Guys don't understand why women buy so many clothes, and women don't want to explain themselves.  So they lie about it.

#4.)  "This Was Cheap.  I Got It On Sale."  I guess Dr. Phil thinks the main things women lie about are their wardrobe and how much they paid for it.
