The Hard Questions: 100 Questions to Ask Before You Say "I Do"

Author: Susan Piver

This book is a wonderful resource for non-evangelicals who are looking for serious marriage preparation. It does a concise job of presenting the big issues; none are surprising, but it's a good collection of the major areas you should be addressing. It won't help you work out the little details, but helps make sure you answer the big questions that could jeopardize your relationship. The process of answering the questions make it very insightful and provocative. It will provoke you to some incredibly deep and interesting (and sometimes quite difficult) conversations that will lead you to whole new levels of understanding about each other. Highly recommended for people who are contemplating getting married and also for two people who are involved in a committed relationship and who want to understand each other better and perhaps take their relationship to a deeper, more meaningful level.
