Generaly helpful book for those engaged in premarital counseling or studying ministry in general .

Has proposed schedules for multi-session counseling.

As a Christian marriage counselor it has become way to common to have couples entering the counseling office married for less than one year who have already become disillusioned in their marriage. We all take varying expectations into our marriage and when they don't happen we can become extremely frustrated and ready to start all over again. It almost always boils down to a couple that simply never understood what was Biblically expected out of them in their marriage. They simply took a shot at it, and did so without any relevant literature for reference in their marriage.

Three to Get Ready provides a premarital roadmap on how to prepare and build a solid foundation for your marriage. With the proper guidance and this book, a couple can uncover numerous areas that need discussion before the white dresses and tuxedos get ordered, and the invitations are shipped. The topics and chapters in this book hold timeless relevance. There is nothing "new and improved" in this book, but each area of discussion is foundational to a Christian Marriage.

I would personally recommend this book to existing, engaged, and even seasoned couples. I also highly recommend this book to Christian Counselors who are in need of a Biblical resource to Biblically counsel premarital couples.

AFTER READING THIS MANUEL, IT IS THIS REVIEWER'S CONCLUSION THAT THE DISCUSSIONS ARE LOGICAL, PRACTICAL AND RELEVANT TO OUR CULTURE TODAY. IT IS UNQUESTIONABLE THAT TRUTH LIES EQUALLY ON ALL OF IT'S PAGES. ON A POSITIVE NOTE, THIS MANUAL WILL NO DOUBT FOSTER OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHRISTIANS TO SHARE THEIR FAITH WITH UNBELIEVERS. COUPLES WILL EXPERIENCE THE JOYS OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY LIVING. THIS IS A BOOK THAT SHOULD BE FOUND ON THE SHELVES OF EVERY BORN AGAIN BELIEVER. GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU READ THIS MANUAL.

"Three to Get Ready" is a good premarital counseling book. It is now approved by Twogether in Texas, as acceptable course curriculum for premarital counseling certificates.
