About The Married Couple Quiz
A married couple quiz should not ask what your partner's favourite colour is. These 15 questions assume years of shared history — the arguments, the compromises, the things that changed — and they are scored, so somebody is going to lose.
Sample questions to get you started
- 1What was the hardest year of our marriage?
- 2What is the best decision we have made together?
- 3What is the worst?
- 4What does my partner think is my most annoying habit now?
- 5What did my partner give up for this marriage?

Why couples love this game
Long marriages accumulate a huge amount of shared material and almost none of it gets tested. A quiz that draws on years rather than months is both harder and more interesting, and the misses tend to be about things that changed while nobody was checking.
Tips to make it more fun
- Be strict about matches. Generosity ruins the score.
- The questions about change are the ones people get wrong.
- Play it every anniversary and keep the scores.
- Anything you both get wrong is worth a conversation.
Frequently asked questions
What questions should be in a married couple quiz?
Ones that draw on years of shared history rather than preferences. Questions about what changed, what was given up and what has quietly been dropped are where the misses come from.
How should we score it?
Strictly, out of fifteen, with the subject deciding what counts as a match. Generous scoring produces a nice number and no information.
