This book has been around quite a while but I still found some very useful advice and tips on conversations that we should have before deciding to get engaged. However, I did feel that there were some topics that weren't covered or covered with enough depth.

Another enourmously useful piece is 1000 Questions for Couples which is the most comprehensive material on the subject I have found. I discovered it at questionsforcouples. com

I think this is a great book to help open communication with your partner. Marriage is the biggest decision you will ever have to make in your life. Why not learn all you can about the person you are going to marry before you say "I do"? Most of the questions are really common sense but, this book organizes them for you and gives you a good outline to start from. Any couple using this book is sure to have countless hours of great discussions. The only thing that I think is missing in this book is a work book to go along with the book. Otherwise, great book to help couples learn about each other!

This book delves into important issues that engaged couples often overlook when planning their wedding. Reading it stimulated some very enlightening discussions between my husband-to-be and me about things which had never come up when we were dating but which we would have to deal with during our marriage. I learned a lot about my fiance and myself with the help of this book.

Even better than those Chicken Soup books!! Don't miss this one!! Outcalt shares observations and lessons about living a meaningful life in thought-provoking stories. Chapters such as "Inspired Volunteerism" remind us all to appreciate what we have and to enjoy life to its fullest. Let's hope there's a "Best Things in Life are Free, Book 2" in the works. Very inspiring. A Definite 5 star book!

One of the best resources for youth leaders who are looking for fun and inspiring summertime youth activities. You'll want to add this one to your library of youth worker materials!
