Summary

Before you plan your wedding, plan your marriage! Wish you could know what you’re getting into when you say “I do”? Now, with Things I Wish I’d Known Before We Got Married, you can. Dr. Gary Chapman, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The 5 Love Languages™, has spent the last thirty-five years counseling couples. In Things I Wish I’d Known Before We Got Married, he shares what he and these couples have learned from experience. Among the twelve things you should know: that being in love is not enough to make a successful marriage, that romantic love has two stages (and how to make the transition), that mutual sexual fulfillment is not automatic, and that personality profoundly affects behavior. The stakes on marriage are high, but the rewards of preparing are even higher. Whether you’re single or dating, this audio can be your relationship blueprint and help you decide if and when you’re ready to tie the knot. If you’re engaged, even recently married, it will help you examine your relationship foundation and learn the skills necessary for building a successful marriage. Things I Wish I’d Known Before We Got Married was written to help you realize your goal of marital happiness. But don’t just listen to it - experience it. Grapple with the practical tips and ideas discussed, honestly share your thoughts and feelings, respect each other’s opinions, and find workable solutions to your differences. The more you do so, says Chapman, the more you will be prepared for marriage.

Really helpful insight into the world of dating

Discusses a variety of topics that people who are dating/married struggle with, with the perspective that it is better to sort out differences between the man and woman prior to marriage. If the issues are insurmountable then the mature and wise decision to make is to the end the relationship whilst it is in the dating phase. Book also gives a really helpful set of questions to ask your dating partner which I will personally be using to assess whether I can survive marriage with a prospective person.

An absolute must for any couple to be

This book along with the 5 love languages were eye openers. I highly recommend them to singles dating and couples looking to get married. These two books will highlight things and areas of your relationship you might not have considered. I strongly plead to all looking to get married or dating to take advantage of these two books. Take it from me, your future self will thank you.

Excellent Insight

This audiobook offers an excellent insight in preparing for a marriage. This book not only embraces the difference between partners but at the same time lets you reflect of what are the non-negotiable things that you can't compromise on.
