I scored a whopping 14 on the 1930s Marital Scale. I’m not sure if this means my feet are firmly planted in 2008, or if I just suck at the wife thing. I was going to show the results to my husband and ask/hope for reassurance, but then I remembered how damn honest he is.

Comment by Tricia on 2 July 2008:
Amy: Um, NO! If I ask my husband to take the corresponding husband test, I’d then have to share my results with him.
Jen: At least I’m in good company if you failed too. My husband would probably get an obnoxiously high score. He’s nicer than I am. This just proves that you and I both know how to marry well :o)
Comment by Amy on 2 July 2008:
I think I will let Dan take the test rating me — there may be a whole different perspective! I am sure I will NOT rate a 95 in his eyes!

Oh Tricia, you just HAVE to have him take the test. He’s gonna read your blog and find out about it anyway…
Comment by Amy on 2 July 2008:
Okay, so Dan and I took both …
I scored … wife - 95 and husband - 135
Dan scored … wife - 98 and husband - 125
Just FYI! Oh and probably we would fail the 2008 spouse quiz!

I only rated a 35 now but probably 15 years ago I would have scored a 100. This is the 21st century and we all fall short to that test.
Does not make you any less of a wife. Let Kim take it for you I bet that he would score you higher. Thoese that know you know how he really views you.Is there a 2008 quiz? we would all pass with flying colors.
Comment by Jan on 2 July 2008:
Oh, I have SO got you all beat. 23.
I would have been a miserable failure at being a wife in 1930. It’s all that drinking, swearing and red nail polish. I know it is.

My phone rings. It’s my mother laughing hysterically on the other end as she explains that she had my father score her, and she got a -1. Yes, that’s a NEGATIVE ONE. Apparently my dad’s brow was glistening with worry and he was so nervous to have given her a terribly poor rating, he closed the browser window so she wouldn’t see it. You can imagine his relief when he learned some tests are not meant to be passed, at least not by my oh so progressive mama, who also has her feet firmly planted in 2008. Go Mom!
Comment by Memarie Lane on 2 July 2008:
I don’t remember what I got on that quiz, I took it a couple weeks ago, but it was much higher than I expected. I think it was a 65 or some such.

I got a 55 and he got a 147! How obnoxious is that?!

WickedStepMom: Your man scored a 147??!! OMG…it was the question about changing his socks regularly that put him over the top, right?
Comment by manager mom on 3 July 2008:
I am afraid to administer this test! I am not skilled in the domestic arts, although I did somehow just win something called a “housewife award” in a contest at a nice blog on housewifery. I’m thinking that just maybe the lady who wrote it never actually read MY blog…
