Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts: Seven Questions to Ask Before and After You Marry
My fiancee and I are in the process of using this book for our pre-marital counseling. It is good, it definitely has some good suggestions and is very thought provoking. Some of the exercises in the workbook are a bit rigid and unclear but overall I have found it to be great. Covers a variety of topics from communication to misunderstandings to intimacy.
A good investment.

Having counseled many couples in 25 years of pastoral ministry, I have read several books on marital, interpersonal relationships. The authors present sound principles that are easy for people to understand and to apply. I had a few older favorites I would recommend to couples until reading this book — now I have a new favorite to share instead!
One of the unique, most admirable qualities of this work is that it is very helpful to persons regardless of their marital status. A single individual will find it helpful for insight during dating. A person who is engaged will find it helpful in identifying issues that are sure to arise within marriage. A newlywed will find it helpful in responding to the major adjustments of sharing his/her life with another person. A person who has been married for several years will find it helpful in understanding how a marriage deepens and grows over the course of time.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone wanting to enhance an upcoming marriage or an existing one. There are accompanying workbooks, one for men and one for women, that are also very helpful. This book is definitely one to own!

This is a great book. Because its written by a couple, it is logical for both men and women. It gives you a very realistic of marriage and what to expect. It’s not preachy, just practical.

My fiance and I are going through premarital counseling, and our officiant has made this book a requirement, which is great. It’s a great book which really helps you to focus on your relationship and your commitment to your future spouse. Whether you’ve been together for 5 months or 5 years, this book is great. Marriage takes work, and especially since the divorce rate is so high, why wouldn’t you want to put everything you can into starting out your marriage on solid footing?

My husband and I did the Saving Your Marriage Before it Starts course with our pastor for pre-marital counciling, and I would recommend it to any couple preparing for marriage. It was easy and fun, and it taught us SO much. It was a real bonding experience, and it truly helped us be a much better husband and wife.
