4.0 out of 5 stars Finding the right book!, April 16, 2001

This review is from: After You Say "I Do": Making the Most of Your Marriage (Paperback)

My husband and I have been married for just over a year now and have been on the look out for good books on communication and good marriage skills in a Christian environment. Too many books nowadays do not focus on God in the marriage which was important to us. This book 'After you say 'I do''was perfect for us. We don't like books which are too lengthy and are just talk, so we were pleased to find that this book has a mixture of stories, questions and anecdotes. The best things about this book are the number of different questions it asks, designed for both of you to answer and compare answers. It made us talk to each other about things which we may have not considered before. A well worth while book for all those couples who wish to cement their marriage and build foundations around God and each other!

This book is an excellent book that makes you go deep into your views and values in a relationship. It makes you looks at things from a Godly perspective ("Which is how marriage was originated in the first place"). The best thing is that you can't hide because if you write it down and then come together to review your answers, you can't change what has been written down. Just be honest with your spouse and yourself and you will see how things will change, or improve.

I love this book. Its a work book that I work on with my wife. We do each chapter everynight and we spend about an hour getting to know things about one another all over agin. There are things I forgot about her and this just reminded us why we fell in love. I highly recommend this book.
