 more a study for new relationships, not engaged couples March 2, 2010
K. Chism (Mississippi)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I was really excited to try this book with my fiance. I looked at so many books for engaged couples, but most were just that; books that you read. I really wanted a workbook that we did together that brought up topics we should discuss and showed us ways to work out problems that would arise in our relationship. The first few chapters were good, I was impressed by the first chapter on the roles of marriage and the chapter on problem solving, but the rest were so superficial. I already knew most of what my fiance was going to say. I know how we like to spend our free time, what his childhood was like and how many kids each of us wanted to have. All in all, I felt that it could have gone a lot deeper. If you don't know the answers to the questions, or haven't discussed these topics yet, you haven't known each other long enough to be getting married. A better time to do this study is when you first decided to take your relationship to a committed, serious level, not when you've already made the decision to dedicate the rest of your lives to each other. Nothing seems to replace time spent with a pastor or counselor.
 Loved it! September 9, 2009

This book was so helpful in guiding my fiance and I into some important discussions. While some topics didn't exactly apply, it made us talk about other topics that we may not have thought of on our own. The Biblical influence helped us know we were basing these discussions on the foundation of our faith. We highly recommend!
Love this book! July 2, 2009
Amanda J. Heinsman
At first I was really disappointed about the size but since we have started it I have loved this book!
It covers a wide variety of topics and it asks thoughtful questions. There are good Christian principles behind this book but it does not make the all too common mistake of telling every couple to be the same way.
The book is not going to tell you how to be engaged or be married but it sets up things that you must discuss and that will be important to your marriage.
The authors are very insightful and give good Christian morality as well!
 A Comprehensive, Scripture-Based Tutorial on Communicating February 19, 2009
A. Hammonds (Florida, USA)
My boyfriend, then fiance, now husband and I really enjoyed reading through this book before we got married. Although we had discussed many of the topics presented already, we liked the fact that this book outlined all the major areas when it comes to communication in marriage. We have used it since we have gotten married as well, to make sure we're staying on track or when we feel we could be communicating better to make sure we are using best practices. This is a great one to add to your library!

I have used this book in premarriage counseling for over 30 years. It is the best I have seen. It is also helpful to use after the wedding for fine tuning. If a couple is dilagent in filling out the questions & then discussing them together and/or with a trained counselor, they will be richly rewarded with a good marriage. This book should be used by all who are getting married with each person having their own copy.
