Forget the pre-relationship credit check.
There are only two things you need to find out about someone before you marry them:
1. How do they handle packing for a trip? and
2. How do they handle filing their taxes?
In other words, if: (a) they run through the house frantically searching for things like a madperson while yelling at you 20 minutes before you have to leave for the airport, and (b) they consistently file for an extension, put off meeting with the accountant, and then lose the folder with all of your tax receipts, 1098s and 1099s -- RUN AWAY. Believe me, your life will be far, far better if you do.
Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything. Just a hunch.

You've left another really important thing out: whether or not they put the toilet seat down when they're through.
that's a pretty low bar....
I can roll with the toilet seat thing -- the other stuff is a precursor to more serious things.
