The drivers license test is a test to determine if you are competent enough to operate a dangerous device in public. The marriage license test would be one to determine if you are stalwart enough to withstand the exigencies of this dangerous proposition.

"OK, now forgive this indiscretion. Good. Now right here at this point of personality conflict, show her you understand that, even though she is 'fond of large gestures and prone to histrionics', it's just her way and it doesn't make her a bad person. Very good. You pass." |
|
| |
Do you get to practice immediately before the marksmanship portion of the test? |
|
| |
Would prevent situations like my friend attending a weddng where there was a betting pool at the reception on how long the marriage would last. |
|
| |
What would be in the tests? What/ who are the teachers & examiners? |
|
| |
A Learner's & Provisional-Marriage License too? The Learner must have an accompanying, qualified adult to supervise. |
|
| |
How would we determine speed limits, load limits, etc? |
|
| |
Should there be a time period before applicants can re-test? Are licences transferable between states, nations, sexes, ages, etc? How long can the licence last before re-examination? Who determines, & How, of the loss of a license? |
|
| |
The test would be easy, gz. One question. Can you show
you've been living together for 3 years? |
|
| |
It would cut divorce rates, and costs. |
|
| |
Just as important, it would cut the number of unhappy
marriages. |
|
| |
And maybe it would help diminish the compulsion to
marry, since so much of that is culturally generated and
maintained. |

Question #1: When a disagreement arises, is the bride-to-be: |
|
| |
1) Always right
2) Always right, and you're wrong
3) Always right, and you're stupid for asking
4) Always right, and her mother is, too. |
|
| |
Question #2: How is the toilet seat to be left? |
|
| |
1)What's a toilet?
2)Where's the toilet?
3)It's got a seat?
4)In the 'fully-down' position |
|
| |
Question #3: The in-laws are coming over, and they need a place to sleep in your tiny house. You should: |
|
| |
1)Buy a tent for them
2)Make a reservation at the local brothel-motel
3)Vaccuum the couch for them to sleep on
4)Offer them the bed. You don't deserve it anyway. |

Ok, so you cram for the test & pass, or you've taken it so many times you can't fail, or you're just lucky as all get out & pass... and you get married & it's determined that while you're good at tests, you are markedly less proficient at real life - is there going to be someone to suspend or revoke marriage licenses? Seems like the next logical step to me! |
|
| |
Yeah, I've had my marriage licence suspended, I'm not allowed to marry for twelve months... |
|
| |
Wonder if you'd find people blowing the test on purpose? Hm... |
