Doomed for Divorce??

I watched the Tyra Banks show last night. It was very interesting and I had to take the quiz. This was what her show was basically about. Learn the five simple questions you need to ask yourself to see if you’re doomed for divorce! With the average marriage lasting only seven years, Tyra gives you a simple quiz that could save you from a lifetime of heartache. She also helps two couples determine if they should tie the knot or call it quits.

Here's the quiz:

Have you attended college?

Is your annual income over $50,000?

Do you have a religious affilliation?

Are your parents still married?

Were you or are you planning on getting married after the age of 25?

How to score your test...
Have you attended college?
According to Cosmopolitan magazine, if you've attended college your risk of divorce decreases by 13%.
If you've attended college give yourself 1 point.

Is your annual income over $50,000?
If your income is over $50,000 your risk of divorce decreases by 30%.
If your income is over $50,000 give yourself 4 points.

Do you have a religious affilliation?
If yes, your risk of divorce decreases by 14%.
If yes, give yourself 1 point.

Are your parents still married?
If yes, your risk of divorce decreases 14%.
If yes, give yourself 1 point.

Were you or are you planning on getting married after the age of 25?
If you marry after the age of 25, your risk of divorce decreases 24%.
If you were married after the age of 25, give yourself 3 points.

According to Cosmopolitan magazine if you scored...
4 or less...you are doomed for divorce.
5-7...you might have a chance.
8-10...go ahead and get hitched!

We got a 6...I'm glad that we got married. Our strikes against us...we got married when we were 21 and our parents both aren't married. We've both said though that it only makes us try harder...we don't want to put our children what we've been through ourselves watching our parents go through that. I think we've been successful so far!
