    OK, they are both playing the game, and both know it. BTW, it is probably dangerous to assume anything about what the resulting point total will be evaluated as. On a different note - looks like Captain Eddie has gone out to sea again - at least his boat isn’t docked at Flo’s.

    Do you think Joe will be able to ask any questions or is this to be one sided?

    Darth makes a good point - a perfect score may mean he knows women too well to make a nicely controlled husband.

    When she said pre-nup that should have given him cold-feet.

    pre-nups are a good document. all marriages should have one - all marriages.

    why - one wife had a “good” judge and he gave her all his tools - he was a carpenter/cabinet maker… He did get them back but what a weird judge.

    I didn’t have a pre-nup with my marriage, which is now going through the divorce process… Luckily we both made the same kind of money, so it really wasn’t worth it…

    Joe, with the percentage of marriages that fail, you only need a 50 on this test. Better yet, break out your own questions.

    I cannot believe he has gone along with this for as long as he has, but then we are not all alike. Thanks again Wiley, wonderful strip.

    hey,mitstan, questions 1 & 3 were saturday, not 1 & 2. no matter how this works out, they always say the first year of marriage is the hardest. trust me, it the last year that’s the hardest.

    Dracip–It’s a different view of the table in the last panel. The characters are sitting on different sides of the table than in the second panel. From the perspective of the second panel, we would not be able to see the shakers and napkin holder. Amazing attention to detail on the part of the artist!

    Isn’t Elin Woods getting the pre-nup rewritten? How do you get a pre-nup rewritten???

    “How to tell if you should get married. If you need a pre-nup, you shouldn’t.”

    Yes–some pre-nuptuals can void the marriage vows, depending on how they are worded and what they indicate about the couple’s consent.

    Joe and Victoria seem to me to be a good match. Neither is taking the questionnaire seriously; however, since both seem to be enjoying this encounter, it seems to me that the two of them will be selecting an engagement ring; otherwise, one or the other would have panicked by now. I hope they do get married as it would certainly spice up the comic a lot what with all the energy this family would create. Also, if Victoria had a baby boy, it would help balance all the estrogen in the family.

    Joe is smart enough to pick C than A and B for that question.

    Before our marriage, the minister gave us a compatibility test consisting of a big stack of cards with questions asking for yes-or-no answers. We were supposed to compare our piles. I ended up with a tall third pile I’d answered with “I’d have to qualify that,” or “it depends” or “maybe, if it means this or that”. My wife knew she should have run for it right then and there, but much to her eventual regret she married me anyway. After the vows, when we turned to face the crowd, her first words were “Oh, Hell.” And it was. (Still going after 36 years, though.)

    No problem. They’ll probably be divorced before the economy requires a real answer to that one.

    Now that I think about this, this is probably not that bad an idea.

    I know a guy who spent 7 years living with someone who then left. I’ve been through a divorce myself (remarried). And there is this to dating, and what I think is going on here: when you hit “a certain age”, you don’t even want to start down the dating path unless you know it at least COULD end in marriage/a permanent relationship.

    That’s what this whole things about…the only question Victoria ACTUALLY needed an answer to was, “Will Joe come over to the booth?”

    @rdclark, actually, that’s a good attitude for any age: “will this person possibly be a suitable (permanent) marriage partner?” If not, drop him/her as a dating partner. Why stay with a looser when you could be finding a winner?

    Always. First rule of business: if you’re going to enter into a contractually binding agreement, agree on the terms of dissolution before doing so. Otherwise, you deserve to lose your shirt.

    Joe may have figured he’s found someone to take over Danae-control.

    Keep going, Joe. String her along until it’s too late…

    You’re right, the last year was the hardest for us… The first year was a blur…
