How well do you know your partner? Take this quiz designed by Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain and find out for yourself!

Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain, from the Maidenhead Synagogue, Berkshire claims to have devised a questionnaire based on 12 years of preparing couples for marriage to be able to help them figure out how well they know each other.

The Rabbi says that he asks couples to fill in these questionnaire without asking the other person and gets them to compare the answers.

He told The Times that just as important as getting the answers right or wrong are the 'don't knows' which suggest that the couple don't know each other very well. These aren't exactly red flags though he says.

The rabbi claims that he can reduce the odds of divorce to 16-1 with this 20-question quiz.
