The months prior to getting married provide an excellent opportunity to set your marriage on the right path. Patterns that you incorporate in your relationship during this season have the opportunity to establish a healthy tone for the many years of your upcoming marriage. One important pattern that needs to be incorporated in your marriage is the skill of healthy communication. How well do you and your future spouse communicate? Are there taboo subjects that you've never discussed? Do you understand each others' perspectives, background and preferences? What does your future spouse think about God, finances, raising children, vacations and the role of your parents in your marriage? In this short book, John and Andrea Stange have listed 100 Questions that they believe couples should take time to discuss before they get married. The questions in their list have been borne out of the many years they have been involved with helping married couples in pre-marriage and post-marriage counseling. Most of the questions on their list deal with important subjects that are guaranteed to come up at some point in your marriage. Some of the questions might be harder to answer or come to agreement on than others. Other questions are included "just for fun" in order to give you and your future spouse the opportunity to practice communicating together in a lighthearted manner. If you're about to get married, be sure to pick up this collection of discussion starters and begin exploring some deeper-level conversation with your future spouse today. There are some things that are better to discuss BEFORE you get married and this book will help you facilitate those critical discussions.
I chose this reading because even though me and my girlfriend aren't getting married it had some good questions that apply to me and her that I could ask her. I liked that they had questions in there that I could ask someone I'm not gonna marry and I disliked that there were a lot that I couldn't ask my girlfriend that only applied to someone you're marrying. I would recommend this book to anyone even someone who's not getting married.
