Product Description

Product Description

Are you thinking about marriage, but afraid of ending up in the divorce statistics? Are you wondering if you're ready and able to make a public, lifelong commitment? "Before You Say 'I Do'" recognises that marriage takes courage, energy and self-knowledge, and leads you through a series of key questions about your relationship to help you discover if you have what it takes to make your marriage a lifelong success. These include: What are your expectations of marriage? What does commitment mean to you? Can you be sexually compatible for a lifetime? Do you both want children? Drawing on the expertise of Relate counsellors, and supported by checklists, questionnaires and case histories, this book will help you to examine your hopes and fears about marriage. It will lead you to a deeper understanding of how your relationship works and ultimately give you the insight to build the bedrock of a marriage with real staying power.

4.0 out of 5 stars guide to couple relationships, 7 Jun 2003
By Jill Curtis "jillcurtis3" (london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are thinking about marriage, or struggling within a relationship, this book is an easy-to-read guide to the ups and downs of couple relationships.

Elizabeth Martyn draws on the experience of Relate counsellors to illustrate the possible sticking points for couples, and suggests alternative ways to cope with money problems, sexual incompatibility, to accept changes, and more.

There are check lists so you can find out - if you are honest - whether you spend enough time with each other, how work affects your relationship, what's really important in your lives, and whether infidelity would be a serious threat to your marriage. The format of the book makes it easy to dip into any area which is causing you or your partner concern.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and concise self help handbook, 2 Feb 2009
I liked this book because it contains lots of short case studies of genuine couples, people who have come up against the real and ordinary obstacles that relationships throw into the spokes of life. I particularly liked the fact that some of those relationships didn't survive the storm - too many of these books seem to be unrealistically upbeat about solving marital conflict.

I did feel that there are some aspects of one's own family and marital history that are not examined in much depth so I'm assuming that you'd need to have a reasonable level of self awareness to benefit from reading this book, and I would say it should be read in tandem with something like 'The Hard Questions: 100 Essential Questions to Ask Before You Say "I Do" ' by Susan Piver, which covers a really wide range of seemingly innocuous topics that could easily tip a fragile marriage over into a battlefield. As they say, forewarned is forearmed...
