About This Quiz

Just about everyone thinks about getting married, even if they don't admit that they do. Whether you're a little girl dreaming of what an amazing wedding you will have, or you're a 25-year-old dude wondering how much you're going to get away with at your bachelor party, there is no denying that marriage is something that is extremely important to most people.  It not only represents that you have found your true love, it also means that you're getting ready to be part of what our culture considers to be a productive member of society. Because we all know what comes after marriage -- at least in a lot of cases you're going to have kids, buy a house and get a good job -- basically, you're going to settle down. 

But the thing is, many people don't want any of that stuff. They might want to travel and have freedom and spending time alone. They might enjoy dating a lot of people and not want to settle down. They might not want a lot of responsibility.

What about you? Whether you're married, divorced, living with someone or single, you have to be curious. Are you marriage material? Take this quiz and find out.
