"Premarital counseling - don't get married without it." That is so true. This manual/workbook is specifically for women. It is thought-provoking and challenging. It starts off with "Questions for Women Considering Marriage." Ex. " Am I convinced that he has my best interest at heart and is committed to my well-being ?" Some of the topics covered are communication, finances, roles of the wife, preparing for intimacy, etc. The format for the manual is a short teaching on the topic then questions to be answered by the woman. After this is done the couple comes together and discusses their answers. Remember, you're future is not about the wedding but the marriage.
