Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts Workbook for Men: Seven Questions to Ask Before---And After---You Marry

This is a great tool for getting the communication going to help the partners understand each other.

Although some of the advice is common sense for many couples (i.e. your problems don't go away when you get married), i think that overall it's useful for couples to discuss their different emotions and to get people communicating. and, let's face it, we all know at least one couple who needs to be told that problems in the relationship don't go away with marriage.

While I haven't read this workbook myself, I have recommended it to a couple and then discussed the main book with them. I received a very good response from both of them, which means the workbook is doing its job! This whole series is a fine one to use for Christian counseling with couples who are to marry in the near future.

I would highly recommend this book to any couple who is considering marriage, engaged, or recently married--or even couples who have been married for years. The practical advice is effective and Drs.Parrot illuminate issues that are vitally important to consider when building or fortifying a marriage yet that are often overlooked in favor of wedding preparation. Very helpful, honest and eye-opening.

You will definitely need the actual book to use the workbooks. My fiance and I have been working through the lessons and are about halfway through the workbooks. The best thing about the exercises is that there are so many things about my future wife that I didn't know, especially in regards to how she thinks and feels about certain aspects of life. We are becoming closer as we're beginning to understand each other at a deeper level. I'm learning more about how women communicate and how they really aren't able to come to grips with exactly how we operate either. The exercises vary from childhood influences to budgeting to love languages. We look forward to each time we work through the lessons. I highly recommend them for any couple preparing for marriage.
