Make Your Marriage Scary-Good

In honor of this Halloween, here are 6 questions you can ask yourself to determine whether you have a “scary-good” marriage. For each question you mark “yes” or leave blank, give yourself ZERO points. For each “no” response, give yourself ONE point.

1. Are you like a ZOMBIE, locked into the same routine in your marriage?
2. Are your SPIRITS dragging each morning when thinking about your marriage?
3. Do you ride a BROOM more than you clean with it at home?
4. Do you wear your nice-person MASK in public, and your mean-mask at home?
5. Are you making choices today for your marriage that will serve as GRAVE mistakes in the future?
6. Do you TRICK your spouse more than your TREAT your spouse?

Now tally up your points and compare your answers with the categories below.

0-2 points: Ouch! Please reconsider your role as a “monster.” Find new strategies, get help.

3-4 points: Okay, sometimes you can be a cranky-pants kind of person, but you are doing good things for your marriage too. You may be going through a tough time or a lull in your relationship. Find a way to spice it up.

5-6 points: Wicked cool! You have a scary-good marriage. You and your spouse talk respectfully to each other, you are conscious of the effects of your behavior, and you think positive thoughts about your spouse.
