I'm just curious from the other readers as to whether you think these are practical tests for a Christian couple. Would it be appropriate for a Christian couple to take a cross country trip together? Sure separate rooms, but the perception of others might be something equally tough to deal with. Also, given Ephesian's admonition to "be angry but do not sin", is it appropriate to encourage a knock down, drag out fight? I absolutely agree that you will learn much, but is it fair to encourage or create expectations of behavior that create a challenge to our faith walk?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I do have to agree with some of what you wrote. But getting into an fight would not be one of them, things are said in the heat of anger, and it can cause big problem. I know that no relationship is with out its fights. Crosscountry drive well men hate to get lost. They do not want to ask for directions at all. And that would cause a big fight, because a woman will ask, a man has to much pride.
Around other woman, yes I do like that test. To see if he would be loyal to me or not. Service people, well I am a custodian and I am in a all male dept, they do not want me there at all, I have proved I can do the work, but they believe that that kind of job should be just for a man. I do not get treated very well by them at all.
A man who loses, yes get test. Some men hate to lose.
Take care of me when I am sick, yes to see how much he loves me and will take care of me. My last husband well in his mind I was not allowed to get sick, and if I did I was told to suck it up and keep going.

You are so right, it's scary. I used many of these tests on a boyfriend many years back. And he failed 'em all. The one that stood out the most to me? How he accepted defeat.

I remember playing Monopoly or Scrabble or some other board game with some friends. Well, because he was losing he walked away, sat in a chair in another room and pouted and WOULDN'T EVEN FINISH THE GAME. Meanwhile, I'm thinking: "Are you kidding me? Are you a man or a first grader?"

Got my answer and moved on. Thank you, Lord.
