Customer Reviews

Great tool everyone should buy one!

My fiance' and I are very pleased with this product. We are looking forward to applying what we've learned being engaged and married.

Fantastic!

I am really enjoying this book. My fiance and I are using it as a guide for premarital counselling, and although we already know most everything about each other, it is nice to discuss our views on things with the background of knowing that it'll help us make decisions later on in our marriage. I would recommend this book to any serious dating or engaged couple!

GREAT for pre-marital counseling

Our pastor recommended this book be used for our pre-marital counseling. My husband and I each had our own book and would go throught the chapters seperately. This helped when we got together with our pastor every week, because our answers were honest. I felt this book helped us think about the expectations we each had for different aspects of marriage. Ex: who does the housework? how much do you spend a month on food? what type of debt do you bring into the marriage? how often do you expect to have sex? It also encouraged us to discuss issues from our pasts that we didn't believe to be relevant, but would have affected our marriage down the road. We really enjoyed this book, but as with any pre-marital counseling book the key is an AWESOME pastor.

A true blue-print

Wow! My husband and I used this book in our premarital counseling class and we learned more about what a true Godly marriage is all about. From your roles and responsibilities, to handling your finances, to unrealistic expectations, even to dealing with each others pasts. I don't know what we would have done if it wasn't for this book, it helped so much in determining our strengths and our growth areas. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is engaged or contemplating marriage! We still go through parts of it even though we're now married!

Highly Recommended Preparation for engaged or pre-engaged

My wife and I went through this book before we were married and found it to be so helpful. This is a hands-on tool that will help you to explore your relationship and find God's plan for marriage. It also fleshes out the topics that are ESSENTIAL in any premarital counseling. My wife and I have a stronger relationship as a result of this book.
