Not a bad little book ... it even asked some questions we hadn't thought to discuss. But on the whole, this book is rather shallow and only really touches on things in a superficial way. An excellent start, but if it goes well another more serious book would be a good followup.

I had heard about this book a couple of years ago, and just recently read a friend's copy. It is a total joy...and it is great for helping couples talk about things that might not ever come up....until they're married. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed it.

This book was fun for me and my significant other. Under the frivolous looking questions are real issues that are better discussed sooner than later, and reviewing each others' answers is a good way to start a dialog. I learned many new things about my boyfriend, even though we've been dating a 2 1/2 years already.

I didn't buy this book for marriage purposes! I just met someone and he lives 1000 miles away. It gave us a good way to start learning about each other. The topics and questions cover just about everything from the basic 3 - religion, sex and politics, to the everyday stuff like, "are the pets allowed to sleep on the bed?" And while the questions are presented in a breezy and fun manner, it still gets you talking and can lead to deeper discussion. If you are to the point of actually considering marriage, I would hope you already know all this stuff about each other!

I was hoping for something a bit deeper and with more substance. If you are just dating and stuff then this might be ok but if you are wanting to really find out if you are compatible, you have to ask a lot more really probing questions.

I found 1000 Questions for Couples to be better book for us.

as my fiance and i are not religious, we haven't had access to a "pre-cana" type process prior to our upcoming wedding. we have used this book to get all that important stuff we may not have thought of yet out on the table. it has been instrumental in assisting us with conversations surrounding some make-or-break-it issues. thanks!!

This is a great book! The writing is funny--it made us laugh, but it also makes you stop and think about serious subjects. I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed this book and feel it could be helpful to others. Books like this hadn't been written in the 60's when I was headed for separation and ultimately a divorce. Should be required reading for all Brides and Grooms. Bravo to the author.!!

This is the most useless collection of questions in any book I've read intended for engaged or dating couples. The questions are very surface level, very superficial, and an entire waste of time. Who cares which snack food you like or what color carpet you want for your future home? This will not help you decide if the two of you are compatible. These preferences can change over time. This is all in addition to the fact that these questions are written from the perspective of a female, in feminine language, that is flowery and old-fashioned. I can't imagine your average male enjoying this book at all. I expected to find at least one good chapter in this book, but did not. I much prefer "Don't You Dare Get Married Until You Read This!" and "the hard questions: 100 Essential Questions to Ask Before you Say 'I Do.'"

Really opens up the conversation and understanding within a partnership.
