101 Questions to Ask Before You Get Engaged (Wright, H. Norman & Gary J. Oliver)
  

The Perfect Remedy for Cold Feet!

More than half of all couples who become engaged this year will never make it to the altar. Why? Leading experts believe its because couples fail to really get to know their potential mate before getting engaged. Relationship expert and noted couples counselor Norm Wright steers potential brides and grooms through a series of soulsearching questions to discern if theyve really met the One.

Couples will be much more confident about whether or not to pursue marriage after completing these indepth and personal questions. Norm also addresses the delicate subject of calling off the wedding if readers discover that a potential mate isnt actually meant to be a life partner.

Good smattering of questions to talk through with your potential fiance. I bought two of them - kept one for myself and sent the other to my boyfriend in Canada. We'll work through the questions together. It's definitely not a devotional or self-help book. Just a great collection of questions to go over while considering marriage. Good to go through them BEFORE any marriage plans are made. It's a tool to help you get to know each other better.

(Hide Review...)  Great book for serious couples
Reviewer Permalink
In my opinion, this book is fabulous. It has allowed my boyfriend and I to discuss some really important topics that may have never just "come up" in daily conversations. I appreciate the comments at the end of each question. They are helpful and add depth to the discussions. It is definitely not a "feel good" relationship book. Instead it is for serious couples that are ready to delve into serious topics such as family history, finances, pornography, children, and past relationships to just name a few.

(Hide Review...)  GREAT conversation starter!
Reviewer Permalink
The authors have done an excellent job with the questions/topics in this book! We've talked about most of the questions in a round about way, but we've deceided to write (there's space, we assumed for writing) our answers in and many times there is a different point thrown in that we end up talking about the rest of the evening!

Highly Recommended!

I got this book for my friend who is getting married in 2 weeks. I didn't read it myself, but she said it was good! She said that they got through the questions pretty quickly, and enjoyed the discussions.

(Hide Review...)  Great book every couple should read whether thinking about marriage or not
Reviewer Permalink
This book is a really great book for multiple reasons.

First off, the introduction is really well written and will make you face any major issues head on. It suggests if there are certain warning signs or red flags in your relationship, it might not be a relationship to stay in. Both my girlfriend and I were surprised that everything listed as warning signs and red flags pretty much described all our past serious relationships (but luckily not ours! haha). We wished we had somebody spell it out to us so clearly back when we were in them! lol

Second, this book does exactly what you are expecting it to with the 101 questions. Every single question we've read has either started a very good conversation, enlightened us into how the other views something, or was something we've discussed at length before and if we hadn't would be an important topic to talk about.

Now I suggested in the title that this book is for every couple and not just for ones thinking of getting engaged or married. It can be elightening to couples who are casually dating and want some interesting conversation topics, or couples who are getting ready to get engaged or married. Couples who are just dating will learn more about their significant other and see if it really is somebody they want to stay with. For couples who are getting engaged or married it can help work through alot of issues before the stress of being married is added into the mix.

All in all, to me it is a definite read to any couple and I will be suggesting it to all my friends and family.

(Hide Review...)  Good discussion starters

This book was shared by a couple considering engagement. Both said the questions were helpful and thought provoking, although simple enough to do 10 questions at a sitting.

They both felt this was an excellent "Book One" in premarital discussions, and would like to see a more in-depth follow-up that has more scripture and deeper discussion and how-to guides on major issues such as finances, children, and spiritual growth and leadership.

(Hide Review...)  pretty religious
Reviewer Permalink
there's some good questions in here, but there's also a lot of really christian questions. that's not a bad thing, but my fiance and i already are on strong-footing, religion-wise. i was hoping for more 'non-religious' good questions.

(Hide Review...)  A good conversation.

This book has some great questions that you might not think to ask. It makes for good conversation and even offers some "advice" after some questions... "Red flags" if you will.

I just completed a pre-marital class and I let everyone know about this book.
