Successful Marriage Preparation

Marriage Preparation is not Wedding Preparation

Preparing for marriage is entirely different than preparing for a wedding.

• Wedding preparation is preparing for a major life event.
• Marriage preparation is preparing for a major life change.

1,000 Questions for Couples

Eileen and I went through many of these questions together before we began premarital counseling with our pastor, and we are very glad we did.

First, they were fun.  Second, they opened up lines of communication and helped us get to know each other better before marriage.  It helped us enter into marriage more confident and secure, and it helped us avoid being clobbered by unexpected and unpleasant surprises.

50 Secrets of Blissful Relationships

When I purchased this e-book, it came with a second e-book called 50 More Secrets of Blissful Relationships. I printed both off and put them into a 3 ring binder and studied them.

I have to say I have not been entirely happy with the direction some of Michael Webb's more recent works have taken as I feel he has put far too much emphasis in sex where his earlier works, like 50 Secrets, seem to focus on developing excellent, quality, honorable marriage relationship skills that are fun and keep lines of communication open.

300 Creative Dates

Married couples need a lot of good, quality, romantic time together. It's good for them, and it's great for the kids, too. And, there is no rule that says the best dates are the expensive ones except for the businesses who are trying to make money off the notion.

I obtained 300 Creative Dates as a part of a larger relationship e-book package a few years ago and found it to be great. Couples are better off enjoying cheap and expensive fun without all the false guilt!!!
