Preparing for Marriage: A Guide for Christian Couples

Rating:
Summary: MUST READ!
Review: This is a MUST READ for any couple that's engaged or starting to think/talk about getting engaged. My church used this workbook as curriculum for a weekly home-group class (8 weeks in a living room), offered to a few couples at a time. Your church should do the same - I wish every couple could go through this book before committing to marriage.

But the book alone is very valuable - buy 2: one for you, and one for your "significant other", because the way it works is that you both read it and answer the excellent questions individually, and then you compare and discuss your answers later. Our church-sponsored class started with 5 couples, and 3 couples dropped out and broke up, but my fiance and I, along with one other couple, couldn't be surer that we're "meant to be"!

Summary: MUST READ!
Review: This is an absolute MUST READ for a couple that's engaged or starting to think or talk about getting engaged. My church used this workbook as curriculum for a weekly course (8 weeks) for a handful of couples at a time. Your church should do the same, but the book alone is very valuable. Buy 2 - one for you, and one for your sig. other, because the way it works is that you both fill out your answers to their excellent questions, and compare (and discuss) them later. As our church-sponsored class progressed and we worked through this book, several couples dropped out and broke up, but we made it, and couldn't be surer now that we're "meant to be"!
