Our minister provided my wife and I this workbook as part of our pre-marital counseling. We learned much about each other and our relationship by completing and discussing the exercises. The book is a must for all that plan to wed. We're buying a copy to provide to a recently engaged couple. To quote the author, "Marriage is a serious business. It should be approached with concern, careful study, prayerful consideration, and thorough preparation." This manual definitely lives up to this ideal.
