Summary: Great Help in Communication Lots of Fun
Comment: We purchased two copies of this book. We live 100 miles apart right now and are working on one chapter at a time together. We meet on weekends and discuss the chapter and questions. (We actually finished just before New Year's Eve.)
Many of the items had already come up in our discussion, but this has opened up other areas such as goal setting.
If your spouse to be doesn't have the energy to plan and prepare now, what does that say about how she or he will treat the rest of life.
We have the benefit of both being over 40. If you you are a young person, please take seriously the need to plan. The passion doesn't have to leave, I agree, but you have to plan and do the work to support the long term growth of that passion.
A book like this will help. If you are not a person of faith this book will be of little value to you. If your fiance is not a person of faith this book could be pretty difficult.
If you think YOU can SAVE your finance, then you both need to read something other than this. That is a whole different issue.
After getting through the entire book - I can say that some of the questions are a bit repetitive - but all and all it is something I strongly reccomend for Christians considering marriage.

Summary: Helpful only for the very religious
Comment: Religion is a sticking point and source of tension for many couples, but if it's not, or if you are not Christian, this book will disappoint. Chock full of bible verses. Questions such as "Which Sunday School teacher influenced you the most?" and "Are there any limits placed upon the wife's submission by Colossians 3:18 and Acts 5:29?" simply do not apply to everyone.

Summary: Solid .. but boring
Comment: My (now) wife and I began going through this workbook together before we got married. Certainly it's comprehensive, and covers many aspects of the marriage relationship, including key points such as differences in personality and expectations, as well as other important day to day issues such as managing one's finances. In this regard, it's a helpful and systematic guide to the many facets of a marriage relationship. For the two of us, however, the main downside was that the book was rather dry and tedious. Being a couple who enjoy talking to one another, we found that the book had the tendency to dwell (laboriously) on issues that we'd already `covered' in the course of everyday conversation. For myself, it didn't inspire me as much as, say, the short book by Ed Wheat (which comes highly recommended), and sessions sometimes took on the feel of an evening with one's tax return. So in summary, it's not a bad book -- it's solid, and comprehensive and certainly worth considering, and comes highly recommended for those with mail order brides/husbands and couples who might have problems communicating.
