Has anyone come across any kind of questionaires to help decide if a marriage is worth saving or not? Anything on MB or elsewhere on the Net? Cosmo, etc.?
Thanks,

We tried Prepare/Enrich. I found it on the web. The company's name is Life Innovations. Clergy mainly use the test to discuss issues with couples considering marriage. We took the test in a counselors office. HOwever, we are so far apart, that the results couldn't help us.<p>The counselor did say that we could use the results to identify areas to work on, or areas we liked about the spouse.
Check with your clergy person.

Worth saving? Hmmm. I have the firm belief that if Sadam Hussien and Fidel Castro were to apply the rules and polocies layed out in Love Busters and His Needs Her Needs, they could make a marriage work! Most marriages start by exchanging vows to stay together through everything that comes down the pike. Read the books, and you will have a much clearer view of what can be done with your marriage. "Love is something we do." is the theme to a popular song, and it is correct. There is no magic wand, if you want to make your marriage better than ever, read the books. May God be with you both.
