I have loved the ABC reality series “Here Come The Newlyweds.” The entire premise of the show is to test newlywed couples to see how well they know each other, how well they communicate and work as a team.
Even though the show is designed for newlyweds it’s been fun for us to watch and play along. Tonight as Techie and I watched the season finally we decided that even as newlyweds we would have kicked some serious butt!

 
Since most of us are veteran couples we wouldn’t make Here Come the Newlyweds but we can still but our marriage to the test. Around Valentine’s Day, I picked up a copy of Dan Carlinksy’s How Well Do You Know your Husband and How Well do You Know Your Wife at Barnes and Noble. For just $5 each these cute little quiz books test your knowledge about your spouse.
Techie and I sat down after the baby was asleep, filled out the books, then read the answers aloud and graded each other. We did well , each scoring above 850 on questions like “What was the name of your husband’s childhood pet?”

Also, if you are shopping for a cool bridal shower or engagement gift you can buy the Bride & Groom versions of these. As we saw from the show newlywed couples still have so much to learn.

I’d love to see a second edition of these books with even harder questions! Pick up your quiz books today and be sure to let me know how you do. Who knows, maybe I’m brewing up the next big reality show for ABC: Here Come the Not So Newlyweds.
