Book Reviews of A Handbook for Engaged Couples: A Communication Tool for Those About to Be Married

Book Review: Exceptionally practical and realistic marriage workbook.
Summary: 4 Stars

Each of the 16 short sections ends with a number of questions and exercises, for the couple to discuss through together.

The first section, for example, includes the task of each writing a job description of a husband and a wife!

The book is what it claims to be - a workbook. It makes you work hard, and think for yourself. It does not feed you with trite answers or tell you how you should feel, in the way some christian books can unintentionally do.

I have been using the book with my fiance, and then after going through some sections, going over some of the areas covered with my church minister, to add further perspective and insight into issues raised.

As well as foundational areas, the book covers basic decisions and problem solving, personal and spiritual growth within marriage, honesty in physical relationships before and after marriage, issues about the wedding itself, and four sections deal with issues for after the wedding, including sex and forgiveness.

A very helpful book in an area where very little good material seems to be available.
