Mostly As
You’re a party girl who likes to live it up! Your girlfriends are your world, and there’s nothing you enjoy more than a night out on the dance floor. While you’d like to be married, you are extremely picky and want someone who can keep you in the lifestyle you’d like to become accustomed to — expensive holidays and the best Champagne. While there’s nothing wrong with wanting the very best, your friends and partners might view you as being high maintenance. Before you get married, you’ll need to learn how to compromise and to make your husband a priority over your girlfriends. Make sure that when you do fall in love, it’s with him and not his wallet or the extravagant lifestyle he offers.
Mostly Bs
You are extremely devoted and tend to put all your focus into making sure your man is happy. While undying devotion is an admirable trait, don’t forget to maintain your identity. Men love women who are independent, so it’s important to give each other breathing room as well as to maintain your own friendships and interests. Imagine how much more relaxed you would feel if you were not constantly worried about being dumped or whether he is having an affair. Stop putting pressure on yourself to make your relationships perfect, and relax a little. Once you learn to go with the flow, you’ll make some lucky guy a wonderful wife.
Mostly Cs
Congratulations! You are a realist who knows what it takes to make a partnership work for the long haul. You’re not too proud to apologize when you make a mistake, and you make your partner a priority while not losing your identity. While you’re not perfect, you’re prepared to put in the hard yards to make your relationship work. You are well-balanced, sensible and faithful, and you will make a wonderful wife for some lucky man.
