Most of us make the decision to marry based on love alone, assuming all the other "stuff" will just work itself out. The fact is, our ridiculously high divorce rates (last I heard they run about 50%) could likely be prevented with some frank discussion about the important issues in this book before marriage. As you read through the book, you'll find discussion questions that will hit you like a brick. "Wow! this is why Bob and Mary got divorced). In other words, by discussing the questions in this book, you'll realize some important differences between you and your future spouse that may need to be settled before it is too late.Don't be fooled by the 22-page length of this book. The fact is, if you're considering marriage, this book is going to be an investment into your future. The book consists of 104 questions that you and your future spouse should sit down and discuss before making a lifelong commitment together. Topics include questions about Family, Intimacy, Money, Communication and "Us." And I'll be honest. Some of these questions are direct and hard hitting. Some questions may even make you a bit uncomfortable discussing...but the great thing is that you can use this book as a crutch for discussing those direct and embarrassing questions (honey, I'm only asking because it's here in the book). Nonetheless, I think every question is important and needs to be discussed before "sealing the deal." It's better to know everything up front rather than have insurmountable issues when the honeymoon is over.
