Take the following quiz to find out if your upcoming nuptials are going to end up in a knot or a tangle.

Believe it or not, of the 2 million marriages to be performed this year, about one-third will end in divorce or annulment. Compare this with only about 7 percent of all marriages in 1900! And while many married couples split, it’s estimated that about 30 percent remain together—unhappily.

Indeed, marrying the right person and maintaining a honeymoon romance is no easy matter. Even if glaring incompatibilities exist, not even the wisdom of Solomon could persuade lovers lost in a white heat to abandon their plans to tie the nuptial knot. So, if you or someone you know is in love and about to take the plunge, the following quiz might help to predict how things will work out.

6)We are both religious.
