Customer Reviews

Great book every couple should read whether thinking about marriage or not

This book is a really great book for multiple reasons. First off, the introduction is really well written and will make you face any major issues head on. It suggests if there are certain warning signs or red flags in your relationship, it might not be a relationship to stay in. Both my girlfriend and I were surprised that everything listed as warning signs and red flags pretty much described all our past serious relationships (but luckily not ours! haha). We wished we had somebody spell it out to us so clearly back when we were in them! lol Second, this book does exactly what you are expecting it to with the 101 questions. Every single question we've read has either started a very good conversation, enlightened us into how the other views something, or was something we've discussed at length before and if we hadn't would be an important topic to talk about. Now I suggested in the title that this book is for every couple and not just for ones thinking of getting engaged or married. It can be elightening to couples who are casually dating and want some interesting conversation topics, or couples who are getting ready to get engaged or married. Couples who are just dating will learn more about their significant other and see if it really is somebody they want to stay with. For couples who are getting engaged or married it can help work through alot of issues before the stress of being married is added into the mix. All in all, to me it is a definite read to any couple and I will be suggesting it to all my friends and family.

Preparing for Forever...

Know all those questions that lurk around in the back of your mind? The ones you would like to know your partners thoughts on but you don't want to be the one to ask the question... Get the book - read it together! :) What better way to spend quality time?! What better way to approach those tricky questions? All these topics will come up in a relationship at some point, so why not share them together now and be prepared for the day when they do happen?! Protect your marriage, be prepared for the unexpected...be ready to walk hand-in-hand forever thru any situation.

The best relationship book ever!

My wife and I used this book while we were dating. This book was so pivitol in our relationship. This has laid a foundation in our relationship for communication. We have gone through all kinds of trials since, and yet the communication skills were laid early and has allowed us to come through those trials. This is a must use resource for any dating couple who is considering the next step.

A good conversation.

This book has some great questions that you might not think to ask. It makes for good conversation and even offers some "advice" after some questions... "Red flags" if you will. I just completed a pre-marital class and I let everyone know about this book.

Wonderful!!

This book was a wonderful eye-opener and was so much fun for my fiance and I to read together. I would recommend this book for dating and engaged couples. It was fun for a date night and when you really want to get to know each other better and to grow together in Christian love!!
