Customer Reviews

Good book

Definitely covers the basics that any engaged couple needs to think about. And it's got some really fun aspects too! Easy to read and very helpful.

The BEST resource for engaged couples

I've read a number of marriage, and pre-marriage resources, both for my job and for my own personal life. This book really covers it all--it talks about the really important issues like communication, finances, religion...but it also has a lot of fun stuff too. The discussion questions provided some great ideas for getting to know my fiance' a lot better. Susan and Dale write in an easy-to-read style that's full of their own personal experiences. I would highly recommend this book to any couple who is engaged or thinking about getting engaged. Personally, I have been married now for only two and a half months. I know there's a lot more ahead of me, but I've already seen how preparation for marriage--including reading this book with my fiance--has made our first days of married life easier to handle.

Great for Engaged Couples

I reviewed this book for a prospective small group of engaged couples at our church. I felt this book would be great for a group of Christian couples looking to get married as it addresses very practical and REAL issues of marriage. The questions for the couple at the end of each chapter are great and I love that there are "lighter" questions that are fun--which is what every marriage needs!
