The long-term success of a marriage depends heavily on how well spouses make the adjustments of the early years. Getting good advice early helps manage expectations and encourages couples to prepare by discussing key issues. The Smart Groom's Answer Guide and companion book The Savvy Bride's Answer Guide answer questions for the bride and groom in a format appropriate for giving at showers, weddings, and premarital counseling sessions—as well as buying for personal use.
This is one of the better books I have read on the recommendation of our wedding officiant. It is not over the top with scripture -- in fact, that is minimal -- and the interpretations are more liberal than conservative Christian interpretations. The book is an easy read with practical advice; it is written in a format that makes it accessible to non-Christians as well. The advice is solid and realistic.
