Written in a workbook format for you & your future spouse.

This book dives deep into discussions of family history, upbringing, future expectations, finances, faith, relationships with families & friends, conflict resolution, etc. Although the questions are repetitive at times, this book certainly launches you into necessary and beneficial conversations. It was particularly impressive how the author addressed difficult topics in a respectful manner without bypassing them.

This book has some really great chapters and some really useless ones.

But it’s a good prep for marriage nonetheless!
