Before the Wedding: Look Before You Leap
Busily anticipating the wedding day, many couples fail to plan for the lifelong relationship that marriage should be. Believing that considerably more is called for than planning a wedding, Cavanagh proffers a premarital counseling program. Although he doesn't discuss finances much, Cavanagh does detail such important marital issues as communication, sexuality, and parenthood. Citing real-life examples, Cavanagh offers very practical advice, even to suggesting specific words couples can use to deepen communication. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions to wife and husband to answer individually, then discuss together. Suggestions for couples working with ministers also appear. A comprehensive resource for preparing to have a mutually satisfying marriage.Patty O'Connell
