Excellent book

This could save many marraiges. The ideas in this book will help understand and solve practical problems in a relationship

Must have for every person who is, wants or wish to be married!

I have been divorced for already 9 years and I am finally dating someone that I do feel may lead to a new marriage.
I have learned and reviewed over these years a lot of things that I did wrong or that we did wrong at my failed marriage, but this book is a wide eye opener to any couple!
I would really love to give copies of it to two loved married cousins and their wife’s, I already recommended the book to my boyfriend and I hope that if we get more serious, to go over it again as a working book and part of our preparation.
This could definitely be a marriage changer if both partners agree to follow it! I think it’s never to late when you really love and want your marriage to succeed! ♥️

Very helpful

I will definitely use what I have learned here to get to know my boyfriend better.

Amazing book

I'm amazed at how great this book is I'm so glad I got this book. I recommend it to everyone. Loved it. gonna read it again and again amazing book.

This book is basic but plentiful knowledge

This book is basic. It contains the fundamentals which is good but is it useful for anyone that has been married for amy length of time? I think so. this book is a wealth of knowledge crammed into this short time. It's got a few good gold nuggets in there that even the lost experienced could use. Worth the read but maybe not AS useful for those that are already married.

Smart read before marriage

Very foundational. Simple. Super important. This is one of the "everyone should read this" type.

Short, Simple to the point

This audio book was fun to listen to, full of stories that make sense and help listener to relate with amount or stories in there

I highly recommend this book!

I really like how the author brushed up everything. It’s a short overview but helps so much.
