300 Questions LDS Couples Should Ask Before Marriage Paperback – August 1, 2004

I ordered a “Used-Like New” copy of this book and that is absolutely not the condition of the book that I received. The cover is filthy, ripped and contains sticker residue.Aside from that, it’s a really great book that my spouse and I have used ourselves before getting married. We’ve also shared it with many other couples. This is our third copy of it and we highly recommend it to anyone (but especially LDS couples) seriously considering marriage.

It is not bad, but it could be better.A couple planning on getting married who have not considered such questions need to. The best place I have found is on OKcupid dot com. A couple should answer about 2000 questions on their respective accounts and then compare and see how well they match up percentage wise. They will have many points then to discuss and resolve prior to marriage.For those of us who are already married... I believe that whoever you marry especially in the Temple, as long as there has been no serious violation of covenants, can still make for peace and happiness. The best source and assurance of this is in the Proclamation to The World on The Family found on LDS dot org. I am also sure that a marriage is harder to fail if this is followed faithfully: "I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase; mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to the counsel of their parents. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity - the pure love of Christ - will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake peace, joy, and happiness". Author: Marion G. Romney, Source: LDS General Conference, April 1980 From Preach My Gospel: Through the light of the gospel, families can resolve misunderstandings, contentions, and challenges.

OK, I'm not a first-timer at marriage - in fact, after two LDS marriages and divorces, I wasn't real sure I was interested in trying again. Then I heard about this book from a friend. She had loved this book as a guideline for conversations with a potential partner following many years as a divorced parent. Before I even saw it, I was telling others who were nervous about choosing a partner about it. I found it on line, read the reviews, and purchased it to review it for myself. (One review was pretty uncomplimentary.) I like the 'workbook' format - short concept statements with a number of related questions and spaces to start with your answers. While some of the questions are worded in such a way as to suggest the 'right' answer or a simple yes/no response, a thoughtful reader (or companionship) can use even these for a take off place for self-exploration and discovery discussion. It found it to very oriented around some concepts that are not familiar to those who don't know LDS Church doctrine, so I have felt it necessary to warn my 'gentile' friends about that - and invite them to learn more about them, of course! But I still tell them to use the book to guide their own searches into compatability and potential companionship.And no - I'm not going to tell you that this book was the beginning of a wonderful new relationship for me. I will say that, with this book in my library, I feel that I have a tool that will support me well when and if I am in the position of considering another try at building an eternal companionship.

My bishop was big on full disclosure, so before my husband and I got married, we purchased this book. We would go through it on dates, driving in the car, etc. There are some good questions, but it could go deeper. Based on your past, you would definitely have more follow up questions than what this book provides, but hopefully those are common sense and you aren't only asking the questions in this book. But it is a good starter to get to know your future spouse. I recommend it.

One of the most important parts of having a successful marriage is being able to communicate your expectations about your future with each other. This book does a good job of setting up questions that all couples should talk about before getting married. They deal with how you will function as a couple and what types of roles you expect to take in your new family. It also has questions about how you will handle situations that might happen and how you might navigate unexpected life events. Great questions that allow you to get to know someone before you "have" to deal with the problems and can also alert you to "deal breaker" issues. It can greatly enhance your relationship.

I am so pleased to say this book was a great source of new topic conversations.My husband & I read through front cover to the end, I'm so glad we did. We talked about everything, we touched pretty much every subject possible, we discussed our feelings, where we stand of certain subjects.I felt so good after reading this book with my then fiancée, I bought 2 books as presents for friends who were dating seriously. They took read it together with their then boyfriends. THEY LOVED THE BOOK and what it provided them with. Thank you. I think every couple who is contemplating marriage should read this book together...

My wife and I were in different states during a six month engagement. This book helped us a lot -- not just to have things to talk about over the phone, but to have some quality discussions about important topics that should definitely be ironed out before marriage. There are a lot of questions designed to help you look further down the road, so you can establish a plan for future things as they arise.

Every LDS couple should ask most of these questions before marriage. Some find it awkward to start some of these conversations, but if you start at the beginning it makes it easy. This book is not designed to be read on your own... it would only take a half hour.Get the Kindle version if you can. It's cheap and just as useful.

aber der inhalt des buches ist super...nur zu empfehlen!! es ist sehr gut für verlobte lds couples die planen zu heiraten
