13 Signs of a Happy Marriage: The Cracker Barrel Challenge
Imagine if there was an easy quiz available online for couples—especially those planning to start a family—to assess the strength of their relationship. Inspired by that idea, I’ve created a fun, totally unscientific marriage quiz that might just give you some insight.
-
What does “clean the kitchen” mean to you? Does it entail wiping counters and mopping floors? If you’re on the same page, +2 points; if not, -2.
-
Picture this: you’re both trying to put a duvet cover on the duvet. Does one of you favor a simple shove-it-in method, while the other insists on a complex inside-out flip? If this leads to sweat and irritation, -2.
-
Try saying this: “Sweetheart, did you really leave the burner on?” Is it a casual inquiry, or is there an underlying accusation? Find a way that works for you as a couple.
-
Do you engage in bizarre debates like “Is couscous a grain or just tiny rice?” If one of you digs in deeper when the other makes a reasonable point, reconsider marrying them! -9.
-
On a long road trip in a rented car, you might encounter quirky phone names like “Sebastian’s iPhone.” When the dashboard struggles to connect to “Vag vag,” are you going to blow a gasket, or take it in stride? Agreeing to laugh it off? +5.
-
When loading your family’s luggage onto a hotel cart, how often do you reminisce about how you used to travel light?
-
Count how many times you mention it.
-
Note the number of times you comment on the lack of hooks on the luggage cart.
-
When your toddler is car sick on a winding road, are you going to freak out over the mess, or keep your cool? Enduring gets you +4, freaking out gets you -10.
-
How long will you drive around a random neighborhood searching for a “healthy” Panera before settling for Cracker Barrel? Set a time limit now!
-
If your toddler is about to break something in Cracker Barrel, who is stepping in to save the day? A fun game of chicken can strengthen your bond. +10.
-
If your little one is having a meltdown in a Cracker Barrel high chair with old-fashioned straps instead of modern ones, who’s going to lose it?
-
Finally, do you think Cracker Barrel is delicious or awful? Make sure you agree on this one.
