And now for the results .....

No two people are absolutely, perfectly identical, so don't expect a perfect score. A score of 35 or greater indicates you've probably found a soul mate. The prognosis for a succesfull marriage couldn't be better.

Test results reveal that long-term successful marriages draw significantly on the capacity to live with inconsistencies - small incompatibilities. A score of 25 or above indicates that given the capacity to overlook a friend's shortcomings, the compatibility quotient here is sufficient to sustain a successful long-term marriage.

Romantic love rarely sustains itself throughout marriage. Compatibility, or the capacity for friendship and the enjoyment of each other's company is the real backbone of most successful long-term mariages. If your compatibility score is below 20, you are unlikely to enjoy the company of your partner over the long haul. Marriage prognosis - not good.
