This review is from: Questions Couples Ask (Paperback)

I bought this book because of the comprehensiveness of the topics covered inside, topics ranging from personality differences,financial management, sexual intimacy and more!.Boy! was I in for a surprise when I read through it's pages, this book not only offers practical suggestions but bases it's answers in accordance with the bible. It has confirmed a lot of uncertain subjects in my head and provided solutions on how to avoid problems couples face. I am contemplating marriage soon and this book was a Godsend, I believe every couple, unmarried or married should have it in their shelves. I believe it will be a great emergency book to turn to whenever one is at a loss what to do.

This review is from: Questions Couples Ask (Paperback)

The Parrotts cover a wide range of topics that couples face in the first few years of marriage. They give wise and sensitive counsel. Each chapter lists other books on that topic. As this book was published in 1996, these lists are a bit dated. Still this is a good book and I have bought this book to give as a present to couples getting married.
