This book allowed my husband and I to really talk about thing before they became issues. We chose not to live together before marriage so it helped us make a positive transition to living with one another. My sister and he husband used the books and they lived together for 5 yrs before marriage...she really liked being able to face problems and confront them in a positive way.

My husband and I did the Saving Your Marriage Before it Starts course with our pastor for pre-marital counciling, and I would recommend it to any couple preparing for marriage. It was easy and fun, and it taught us SO much. It was a real bonding experience, and it truly helped us be a much better husband and wife.

I just began using the Parrott's materials, Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts, for engaged couples in our premarital education program and, so far, the response has been positive. Couples affirm that it is helpful. One young man said he has begun to think more about what marriage means and what it will entail. He also has been more attentive to other couples and how they relate to each other. I am pleased with the response.
