Product Description
Product Description
Written by marriage therapists Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, this adaptation of a popular Zondervan title (more than 250,000 sold) shows couples the three ingredients of romantic love, how to fight a good fight, two skills for instant communication, and more. The award-wining authors who have appeared on Oprah and in "USA Today" show you how to make your marriage all it was meant to be.
From the Back Cover
Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts (SYMBIS) is the first comprehensive marriage preparation program specifically designed for today's couples. It's also the first program for couples developed by a couple. And Les and Leslie Parrott are no ordinary couple. As marriage counselors and teachers, they're on the cutting edge of marriage research and education. Each year they teach a blockbuster relationships course to hundreds of college students. They see the struggles and dreams of couples up close. And they reveal the flaws and foibles of their own relationship in order to show how challenging -- and rewarding -- marriage can be. The Parrotts show young couples the skills they need to make the transition from "single" to "married" smooth and enjoyable. Designed for couples and small groups, the SYMBIS curriculum includes the following: Separate men's and women's workbooks full of exercises and self-tests to help couples apply what they learn - A leader's guide that shows small-group leaders how to successfully conduct the SYMBIS program - A hardcover copy of the book, Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts - A copy of the Marriage Mentor Manual, a guide to helping young couples establish mentoring relationships with experienced couples after the wedding Based on up-to-date information from two marriage authorities, the Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts curriculum offers today's couples a complete marriage prep program for a lifetime together. Start with it today, while your love is fresh -- and save your marriage before it starts.

Format:Hardcover
This book is fabulous. My husband I read it as part of our pre-marital preparation, and we return to the principles taught in it frequently. It gives a solid look at relationships and the things that make a marriage tick. Having the perspectives of the two married authors gives this book an advantage over other pre-marital books because it accurately portrays both the male and female perspectives, emotions, and needs in a marriage. This book is a must read, whether you're just engaged or have been married for 10 years!

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I highly recommend this book. My husband and I went through it together after being married less than a year and it was a GREAT resource and still is a great reminder of how to keep our marriage working well. I especially enjoyed the chapter on how to fight a good fight- because we ALL do it and need help in not damaging our relationships for the long haul in the process of working out our differences. I use this book (and the workbook) for many of the couples I counsel and find it hits most of the important areas and is an easy read. I actually think it has helpful information for most couples, not the only pre-married.

I just finished this book. I thought it was great! It contains very practical usefull information on 'real' realationships and how-to's. I did not however, as the title implies (saving your marriage BEFORE it starts), feel like most of the advise given was for pre-married people. As a Christian, some of the examples given, were not for someone in just a dating situation. I would love to read a book by the Parrotts that was exclusively for singles...

Easy and quick to read
This was so short, yet full of good advice that I even managed to get my partner to read it! I'm not convinced that he'll change his behaviour as a result, but it made me feel... Read more

Yes. This book was a great source of pre-marital questions and awnsers, but it did indeed have a hidden agenda. Read more

Good - with a hidden agenda
This book had a lot of good suggestions... I guess I should have seen the fine print, however... It was given the gold medallion book award for excellence in evangelical christian... Read more
