READ THIS: PMAT The Perfect Marriage Aptitude Test by Mary Carty
If you're going to get married, do it once and do it right. We don't write on weddings that much because we think people need to concentrate on the long term: the marriage, not the party of a day-or a week if you are in Ireland or India....and this book is both fun, fantastic and not to mention, SMART.
Well-written, well-illustrated, and complete with test sheets, PMAT's answers could be even more important to your life than your SAT score, and you know for any reputable career position they tend to ask you that well after you took the SAT. From life decisions, to home, to money this book addresses it all that you should consider. Unfortunately you're never going to find someone exactly like you! And if you marry the wrong person, it could be your worst nightmare, and equally bad, if you marry the wrong person, it could become a nightmare for your family members.
Real life situations are presented, and real life answers will be supplied by you and your significant other-nicely color-coded in pink and blue at the end. Be informed and have fun! Whom You Know recommends the PMAT!

“Couples create their marriage by the choices they make
on a daily, minute-to-minute basis about thousands of situations
that occur while building a life together. It is the element of choice of actions, thoughts, attitudes, and responses
that determine the structure and quality of the marriage.”
—Mary Carty, from the Introduction
