This was the book we used for premarital counseling! It was pretty good. We also did the SYMBIS assessment to gauge our compatibility and areas of conflict.

Membaca workbooknya dulu buat yang cowok sama cewek, tapi belum ngisi pertanyaan-pertanyaannya :p. Buku ini benar-benar serius mempersiapkan pernikahan melalui pengenalan-pengenalan karakter dua jenis kelamin yang 180 derajat benar-benar berbeda.

Buku ini memberikan pertanyaan-pertanyaan panduan untuk wanita dalam mengenal pria yang akan dinikahinya, pria yang akan hidup selamanya dengan dia. Pertanyaan-pertanyaan ini perlu didiskusikan dengan pasangan untuk membuat kedua pihak benar-benar mempelajari pasangannya dengan detil (meskipun pada akhirnya mempelajari pernikahan adalah pekerjaan seumur hidup dan masa pacaran tetap tidak cukup untuk mengenal satu sama lain dengan sempurna).

Buku ini mempertajam karakter-karakter kedua pihak dalam memulai sebuah keluarga yang bisa saling mencintai dan menerima. Pada akhirnya bercerai dengan diri sendiri, adalah cara awal memulai sebuah hubungan pernikahan.

Buku terbaik untuk persiapan pernikahan.
