Saving Your Second Marriage Before It Starts Workbook for Men: Nine Questions to Ask Before---And After---You Remarry

I highly recommend this book! Like many books of this type, it does state the same thing over and over. But, overall, it's very helpful and has been an excellent discussion jumping-point for my boyfriend and I.

Are you or your new mate carrying too much baggage to move on to a good and fulfilling relationship? There are questions that you might not generally feel comfortable asking about, or talking about, but with this book (and the accompanying opposite gender version) my guy and I were able to clear up a lot of things that we didn't think was getting in our way, but turned out to be big for both of us. Now that we asked the pointed questions, compared our responses and beliefs, we are able to move on in a positive direction, with much less baggage weighing us down. I liked that we could go through the books long distance. We just compared our answers when we got together, since we are 800 miles apart at this time. It was worth it to invest the time and money. I believe it has allowed us to avoid some of the pitfalls of relationships after divorce.

This workbook contains very thought provoking exercises that really help you to learn more about yourself and your partner. The concepts that the Parrotts cover in their book are enhanced by the activities. This should be a primer for remarriage.

This book has alot of great resource and foundation for the couple/man/woman looking to remarry and succeed.

My husband and I completed these workbooks (he filled out the "for men" and I did the "for women" obviously). These excercises were really good for understanding differences based on upbringing. We have preconceptions of how marriage is supposed to be -- and these preconceptions are based on our experience with our parents' marriages. Your spouse/fiance may have different preconceptions, and if these differences aren't discussed, there is potential for resentment to develop. Knowing is half the battle -- these workbooks opened up discussion for us (not to mention that they saved us quite a few arguments) and we would wholeheatedly recommend them!
