This book is really helpful. The questions really make you think, and there is a lot of great points throughout the book. I really enjoyed reading the book, and I would defiantly recommend it. ( )

Provides the practical tools you need for a lasting and loving future together

Good book about that anyone planning on getting married or is already married should read. Seven questions are asked along with a corresponding workbook activity. I checked this book out at the library and the library did not have the workbook. I felt I would have gotten more out of this if I had the workbook to go along with it. ( )

I think that it is great that one of their recommendations is to pray together. I believe also that prayer is essential in any relationship. ( )
