Read this w Cole a couple months ago but didn’t want to hard launch that on good reads quite yet 🫢 Old book, but HIGHLY recommend if you’re about to get engaged! We didn’t read the chapters, but we did all of the questions at the end of the chapters!! SO helpful and helped spark really great discussion

Very helpful book. It was a very good guide and gave great structure in guiding conversations a couple could have. I appreciated the insight. It is not an exhaustive book but is a very good start to get conversations going.

A very good preparation and conversation starter in preparation for marriage.
I liked the separate worksheets and the overall organization.

He usado este libro en consejería para jóvenes en planes de casarse. Es una herramienta muy útil como consejera y las parejas se han beneficiado mucho. Los ejercicios que deben hacer cada uno y la manera como pueden identificar diferencias junto a los compromisos que asumen en cada tema lo convierten en un material muy bueno.

This is one of he best guides for pre-marrital counseling. Most of the work is done by the couple and it touches on large number of issues the couples should be aware of as they set for a journey of life together. This is a must-read for all who plan to get married. Pastors and counselors will find to be a wonderful tool.

My fiance and I used this as a conversation tool as we prepared for our wedding date and beginning our lives together. We still use the phrase from the book, "different isn't bad, just different" often to help us in relating to one another.
