Ready to Wed: 12 Ways to Start a Marriage You'll Love

This is a really terrific book on getting ready for marriage. I heard the authors on the radio and said I have to get their book. I bought it for a family member who just got engaged and felt like I had to read it myself first before recommending it. I read it and it was better than the radio interview had indicated. I learned about myself and my marriage. The ironic thing is that I have been married for 31 years. I am not a young engaged man and it still had much insight for me. This book would make a great tool for premarital counseling as it covers, insightfully, all of the topics that a young man and woman should consider. I wouldn't recommend any couple go without premarital counseling of a pastor or professional, but I plan to send this as a help to my family member who will likely be away from his fiance for much of their engagement and unable to meet with a counselor in person.

My fiance had heard about this book when I was deployed and going through our first deployment as a couple (second deployment overseas for me). She was told about this book from another couple at the church we attend together and we both got the book and started reading it and discussing the chapters each week or when I could. We both loved the advice and the topics the book had listed and talked about. We both had learned from it and will do our best to implement the teachings that each chapter talked and keep our already healthy habits of praying together over food and before bed. If you and your future spouse are looking for a good book to read for premarital counseling, this is a good one to get and read.

This book is fantastic. I purchased one for my daughter, and it went over so well that I purchased a couple more copies,, one for her fiancé, and one for another friend who is engaged. The chapters will hold your interest,,, they are funny in parts, to the point,,, give you lots of suggestions and tips you can use, and there are assessments you can go online and take as well, to pinpoint areas you are strong in and areas you need to grow in. If your fiancé is nearby,,, one book should be sufficient, but two copies would be great if you will end up reading the book separately.

My fiancé & I started reading this books right after we got engaged and it has been so helpful in getting some conversations about the future going. We also have marriage counseling through my church, and the content of this books goes right along with what we're discussing. I appreciate the transparency in many of he chapters, as well as the practical tips and advice. The questions following each chapter are a great way to ignite discussions and help you evaluate where you are and where you want to be as a couple.

Based on Biblical Truths, scientific research and personal experiences. The authors were open and vulnerable but clearly knowledgeable about the area.

This is an idea book for two persons looking to get married. It covers a wide range of topics, it also helps to bring uncomfortable topics on the table to be discussed. I am so thankful that I bought this book as my fiance and I approach the "I do" date. This is a very good and suggested read

This is a great book for those getting ready to Wed and for those that are already married. Help to really talk about things you normally would not until they came up. This book to help us prepare for our marriage more than any other book we read, highly recommend it!

This has been a great series for premarital counseling! The young couples I've used it with love it! There is a leader's guide, student notebooks that each person needs and some great DVD's for each of the 10 lessons. Can't believe how fast the 10 weeks goes!

I will be getting married in a few months and I learned even more from this book than from our marriage councelling sessions. The authors use lots of stories to illustrate their points. I felt that this provided me with good expectations going into marriage - expect that things won't always be perfect, we will argue, but that we can grow closer as a couple through it. It also provided great biblical perspective on marriage.

This is excellent reading for engaged and married couples. Gives real life examples and thought provoking suggestions
