What's Your Preference?

Saturday night at dinner with Kayla and her parents, we started talking about certain things we liked as couples ... kind of toothpaste, brand of ketchup or mayonnaise, how you put on your toilet paper roll (paper over or under), and things like that. It was fun hearing how we married couples handled that and listening to Anton and Kayla respond to what they would do after marriage.

So for fun, we decided to create a little quiz for you to ask your spouse-to-be to see what their preference is and how you might handle different things once you are married. Have fun!
