Summary: do you really want to know all about the one you love?
Review: This is a good book to find a basic list of questions to think about before you get married or live with someone. There are a few questions that I would not want to know about anyone... let alone someone i will be spending my life with. It gave me some great things to think about asking. The book reminds me of a cosmo quiz.

Summary: Good, Just Not Enough
Review: This is a rather slim volume of questions. Most of them are excellent -- just need to be more. I did find 1000 Questions at questionsforcouples. com that were excellent.

Summary: Need More Questions
Review: Those looking for a quick reference of compelling / insightful questions might be a little disappointed. "The Hard Questions" does offer a few nuggets you might not have thought of yourself, but the truth is the important questions will be different for each couple, and you'd probably be better served by formulating your own.The author does, however, write a beautiful, eloquent, and insightful forward that is well worth the price of admission all by itself. Piver provides a perspective on marriage and relationships that is honest and touching, and which should inspire most readers to look with new eyes at why they are together and how they might stay that way.

Summary: Wonderfully helpful and delightful
Review: Though many of the author's questions have crossed my mind over the years, never before have I had such a wonderfully organized format with which to explore them. And, many of the author's questions I hadn't thought about before. These questions brought back wonderful memories for me of fantastic experiences that I had let slip from my mind and that I would love to experience again.

Summary: Essential?
Review: When you get questions like "What if one of us stopped working?" and "Do you want kids?" then it is far from "Hard hitting" or "Essential". It takes Susan 128 pages to give a list of 100 questions that could be yanked out of any given teen magazine on any given day of the week. Maybe if I was 12.. then I would have admired the "hard hitting" questions. However.. now.. I'll ask all these questions before I'm 2 months into a relationship, let alone getting married! If your compass is awry and you're petrified of talking candidly with your spouse.. this book is for you! If not.. well.. go spend the money on dinner, and you'll actually have a better discussion!
