It's an interesting idea... sometimes engaged couples don't thoroughly discuss all the things that go into a marriage, then they get nasty surprises when, say, she discovers he doesn't want kids when she really does, or he discovers she wants to have a career when he'd prefer she stay home with the kids.

My husband and I never took a paper-and-pencil test like this, but we did have several meetings with our rabbi, and he made sure we'd discussed the "hot" issues.

I know of one engaged Catholic couple who had indicated that they lived together. As soon as the priest found out, he refused to conduct their wedding unless one of them moved out. So they had to scramble to find an apartment with a month-to-month lease (it was only about 6 months before the wedding) just so they had 2 separate mailing addresses.
