From the Dirty Catholic blog: "So you think the church people are nice and they just want to help you 'talk about things' and 'get know yourself better'. You know, all the usual touchy-feely hippie crap. They even go on and on in the instructions about how 'there are no wrong answers.'
"Anyhoo … emboldened by the dizzying freedom of no wrong answers, Mr. Man and I took the test and ... totally failed. Or, to quote our marriage prep counselor, we 'Received the worst scores I have ever seen.'"
Our blogger continues:
Apparently there are wrong answers. For every question there are three choices: 'Yes', 'No', and 'I don’t know'. Guess what? Every time you answer, 'I don’t know', it’s the WRONG ANSWER.
I’m not sure if accusing your partner of 'making us fail' is the kind of open couples communication that the test is trying to engender, but that's certainly what it has done for us. I think we both have pretty good cases ...
You will all be glad to know, however, that despite scoring around 30% percent in most areas (and yes, that is lower than F-) we scored almost 98% (a solid A!) in one area: Marriage Readiness. Apparently we are both very ready to commit ourselves to spending the rest of our lives telling each other 'I don’t know!'

All that was two yours ago and the latest from Dirty Catholic is that she and Mr. Man are setting up a couples group just for "upkeep and emotional health and stuff."
