My friend's husband died 6 months ago. This book has been her grief companion, as she puts on paper the many memories they had created together. It means a lot to her to have this record of their love. In moments when she misses him, she reads some of the stories she's recorded and feels him close again.

I bought this book as a birthday gift for my fiance. We have been together over 2 years and are getting married in about 100 days.

I thought that this book would be very sweet if I filled out everything up to the wedding/marriage part. However, I think that this book might be a bit hokey if just bought and given to someone blank. However, if you're willing to start filling it out, it gives your companion an interesting way to look at memories and will encourage him/her to fill it out further.

I would not suggest getting this book if you are only dating or if you are newly dating: it defines and confines your relationship too much. But this is a great book if you are a couple who are not always together. My fiance lives in England, and we often enjoy sharing memories of our courtship, our vacations, etc. This is a perfect way for your partner to hear your voice and cherish memories when he/she is alone, or when you are unavailable.

A good gift for someone/a couple who is romantic, nostalgic, and interested in a little project or creativity.

I have several friends getting married this Spring so I've been looking for inexpensive yet nice, thoughtful gifts. This book really fits the bill. I'm buying one for all the showers I'm going to. It's a wonderful way to show your support for the couple's future together. It's a lovely, touching book that shows you care.

Our grown children gave us this book on our 50th wedding anniversary. It seems they want to know the secret to staying happily married for so many years! One thing we've always tried to do is remember our blessings. Filling out this journal helped us express our appreciation of each other inspite of, or maybe because of, the rocky times. If our 50 years teach our kids something about a lasting marriage, that feels good too. Thanks, kids!

This is great! I was looking for something unique for my husband for our upcoming Anniversary (on Valentines Day). I wanted to do something more than a box of chocolates. I can't wait to present my beloved with this nice-looking journal, all filled out with the many wonderful memories and stories of our courtship, wedding, early years and now middle years together. The prompts on each page really helped get my memories flowing, so it was easy to fill out. What a great way to say I LOVE YOU!

This book is great for chronicling events and memories of the couple. The format of the book is that there's a question prompt at the top of the page and 1-2 blank pages following for you to answer. I would say it acts like a great journal, but really one person only need to fill it up (most likely we can guess which of the couple will take time to write in it).

If you want a book where the couple can really interact and learn about each other, I'd recommend: All About Us. It has some of the question & long answer-type format, but it also has series of multiple choice questions and short answer sections. It's a lot of fun, too!

I'm excited about this journal. I'm filling it out as a special surprise gift for my husband for Valentine's Day. After 25 years of marriage, I wanted something more unique than chocolate to give him. This book is really helping me express my love for him by creating a collection of our memories, from when we first met, dating, the wedding, our early marriage years and now our middle years. This book makes it easy to do. Thanks to the authors of this great little book!

It'll be fun to look back at it in 40 years, but it's important to realize that you're being confined to a set of specific questions/topics. They're widely varied, and not all of them may apply to you.

Perhaps the most important thing to realize is that you're going to be forc.. errr... strongly encouraged by your wife to define your relationship in 20-hand-written-line increments, one page at a time.

It's hopelessly romantic, but all-in-all a fun thing to look at later on.

I bought this for my husband for our 10th anniversary and he loved it! I had completed the entire book before I gave it to him and it is a great thing to pass on to your kids.
I also bought one for my parents to fill out. They have been married for 42 years and are having a BLAST filling it out together!

I bought this for my boyfriend and I for Valentines day this year. I filled out all the parts I possibly could, and when I gave it to him I told him once we're on our way through getting married, we'll fill the rest out together.
He loved it, it's a very sentimental gift and it's PERFECT to keep track of your growth together as a couple.
I strongly suggest getting this if you're already married, or if you're with someone you know you want to spend the rest of your life with.
