Agree with Virginia Reader - By: , 30 Jun 1999 
Yes. This book was a great source of pre-marital questions & awnsers, but it did indeed have a hidden agenda. I too would not have purchased the book knowing that the entire last chapter was based on Christian principals & marriage.
A MUST read for couples planning to marry! - By: , 11 May 1999 
This book is fabulous. My husband I read it as part of our pre-marital preparation, & we return to the principles taughtin it frequently. It gives a solid look at relationships & 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 & female perspectives, emotions, & needsin a marriage. This book is a must read, whether you're just engaged or have been married for 10 years!
An excellent counseling tool for dating or engaged couples! - By: , 13 Mar 1999 This workbook, along with the main book, are excellent counseling tools for couples engaged or considering marriage. It is also excellent for couples that are already married. It is professionally done, & includes many exercises that help couples communicate their expectations about marriage & eliminate some problems before they begin. It is well worth the money.
Practical - By: , 08 Feb 1999 I just finished this book. I thought it was great! It contains very practical usefull information on 'real' realationships & 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 someonein just a dating situation. I would love to read a book by the Parrotts that was exclusively for singles...
One of the best pre-marriage books on the market! - By: , 24 Jan 1999 As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I highly recommend this book. My husband & I went through it together after being married less than a year & it was a GREAT resource & 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 & need helpin not damaging our relationships for the long haulin the process of working out our differences. I use this book (and the workbook) for many of the couples I counsel & find it hits most of the important areas & is an easy read. I actually think it has helpful information for most couples, not the only pre-married.
