Review
So we probably read this about 4 years too late. This book is clearly for a couple in the very beginning stages of relationshiphood. We pretty much had asked each other about 95% of the questions already in there over the course of our relationship before even talking about marriage, so there really wasn't much for us to discuss. I guess if you haven't asked each other about money, sex, values, the future, work, kids and religion before you even got engaged - then you might want to ask yourselves why you would even consider marrying that person in the first place. And if a book is prompting you to ask more than half of those questions for the first time, then the lack of communication would make me worry that you and your soon-to-be will never communicate properly. I think this book, if anything, while not quite suited for us - just made us realize that we're in a good place to start a marriage together.
