This collection of worksheets for couples to do together goes further than typical marriage preparation courses in covering issues like sharing household tasks, coping with aging parents, step-parenting, and forming strong interfaith marriages. Although this edition is specifically for Catholics, the book is remarkably unpreachy and would be very usable for couples where one or both are not Catholic. The Catholic wedding planning section at the back is an adequate overview but not sufficient for a couple who wants a personally meaningful ceremony.

This book is a workbook for an engaged couple to work through to help them discuss issues relating to their married life. Going through this book makes the couple discuss important issues and avoid future problems.

This little booklet was given to us by a preist during pre-marriage counseling. My husband couldn't roll his eyes fast enough when he saw the title, but to say that we were pleasantly surprised was an understatement.

This little book has wonderful little exercises that just help navigate discussions on really important topics from raising children to how you fight as a couple, to daily chores - the things that really come up in a marriage.

We have now been married for five years and have sent this book to several of our friends as they have become engaged (Catholic and other).

Highly recommended.
