Unhappy Marriage Quiz

When you swore to love your spouse for better or for worse, you probably didn’t fantasize much about the “for worse” part. It’s normal to start a marriage with rose-colored glasses on, but what happens when it’s time to take them off and face the sometimes-unhappy music? Marriages are meant to last decades and, love or no love, that’s a long time and a lot of work. During that time, bumps in a marriage are totally normal. There’s a huge difference between a rough patch and an unhappy marriage. To see which category you fall under, try our Unhappy Marriage Quiz below.
