Summary: Wasn't what I expected
Review: I saw this book on Oprah and thought that maybe it would give me ideas of what to ask my Fiance before we got married. This book is more for people who had a short engagement and are still getting to know one another. The questions are pretty childish and a lot of them my Fiance and I have already talked about. The questions basically ask about your feelings about children, your job, house, etc..
I basically wasted my money so don't waste yours if you and your boyfriend/Fiance/Husband have been together for a long time. It doesn't really help you figure out anything new.

Summary: Too Small
Review: I was looking for a book that would help me and my sweetheart to really get to know each other. I have seen too many couples make terrible mistakes because they really didn't know each other well enough.This book was ok but I felt that there were a lot of questions that needed to be addressed. I searched through all the books and finally found what I was looking for at the website questionsforcouples. com

Summary: a great thought provoking book
Review: I'm getting married in about a year and a half and thought that this would be a great book to read with my future husband. i found that it took us half an hour or more to answer some of the questions--the questions promoted conversation which led us to other issues not even mentioned in the book. We also felt that we knew each other a little better afterward. It was worth the time and money. This is something that i would definitely buy for my friends when they get married.

Summary: Good for non-evangelicals
Review: Many of the pre-marriage books I was looking at were written from an evangelical Christian point of view, which is certainly valuable but not what I was looking for exclusively. This book is a wonderful resource for non-evangelicals who are still looking for serious marriage preparation. It did a concise job of presenting the big issues; none are surprising, but it's a good collection of the major areas you should be addressing. It won't help you work out the little details, but helps make sure you answer the big questions that could jeopardize your relationship.

Summary: Insightful and Thought Provoking
Review: My son just got engaged and I ordered this book for his fiancee and him, hoping they would utilize it to get to know each other better and on a deeper level before entering into marriage. I scanned through it at first, before I gave it to him, and got so interested in the book, I decided to keep it for myself and ordered another one to give my son. A wonderful book every couple should have.

Summary: You've GOT To Be Kidding
Review: Now I'm not exactly sure what it is that's going on here. From a male point of view, I think that the only possible reason someone would buy this book is if their husband or wife had ABSOLUTELY no type of conversational skills or input into the things that were going on within the family. These questions would only be considered important if both the man and woman were absolutely clueless and ignorant to anything that goes on in the world. If you have somewhat of a brain, then don't waste your money on this small book---you can think of these questions on you own. I'll give a few examples. The major chapters of this book were home, money, work, sex, health & food,family, children, community and friends, and spiritual life. Question number four under category "HOME": "Where is our home? Describe its geographical location. What surrounds the house? Neighbors? Trees?..." #6, "WORK": "If one of us doesn't want to work, under what circumstances, if any, would that be okay?" #2, "SEX": "Am I affectionate enough with my partner? Do I cuddle and cherish him or her enough?" I could go on, but I think you get the point. The minute portion of "questions" in this book that have merit are questions that anyone could think of on their own if the situation or topic arose. There is no need to have her tell you what you already know. Question #1, "MONEY?" "Should I waste money buying silly books that are redundant and tell me things I already know? well, should I?"

Summary: Good but need more
Review: There are some excellent questions in this book that cover many issues couples face. I feel most people will need more to sort out their relationships, but this book is a very good start.

Summary: not so "hard" after all
Review: this book is small, and talky. there's a big intro to each section, and then about 5-7 questions for that section. plus, they are pretty juvenile. i have been with my partner for over 2 years, and we are planning a marriage, not deciding to go steady. we wanted hard questions. not "what if i am ever attracted to someone else" and "how many kids do you want" questions. we went over those ages ago. very good for someone just starting out in the dating world to get an idea of what relationships are really all about. not for the mature couple looking to plan a future.

Summary: Leading Questions for discussion
Review: This book will open up topics you may have been hesitant to bring up. You are making one of the most (if not the most) important decisions in your life. Do skip any question you may think are not important or silly. This is a very usefull tool.
If you buy this book with the intension of fully discussing the questions and your partner is open to the discussion then you have truly found "The One". A sure sign you and he/she are not meant to be together is that they refuse to discuss any of the topics involved. MOVE ON!
