5.0 out of 5 stars Great Preparation For Remarriage, June 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Before You Remarry: A Guide to Successful Remarriage (Paperback)

Over the years I have counseled many couples coming at marriage the second time around. Before You Remarry was just the tool I needed to guide couples through the dangerous waters of remarriage. So often, couples simple find a new mate and quickly fall into the same old patterns that helped destroy their first marriage only months or years earlier. But this workbook provides a helpful guide for those who truly want a fresh start with hope for a new and improved outcome. Buy it, use it and take it's advice!

This review is from: Before You Remarry: A Guide to Successful Remarriage (Paperback)

My fiance and I live 1000 miles apart but wanted to complete premarital counseling. How best to do that long-distance? This book has fit that need perfectly. It nicely covers a wide spectrum of topics that anyone considering remarriage should examine: closure of previous marriage, step-parenting, roles and responsibilities, conflict management, communication, finances... like the spaghetti sauce commercial, "it's in there"!

This is a workbook, so plan on spending a few days working through each chapter. We are finding it to be quite an enlightening experience, leading to a richer and more focused relationship.
