101 Questions to Ask Before You Get Engaged

I picked up "101 Questions to Ask Before You Get Engaged" with the hope of deepening my relationship and preparing for marriage—and it delivered beyond my expectations! This book is an incredible resource for couples who want to ensure they’re on the same page before taking the next big step. The questions cover everything from personal values, finances, and family dynamics to communication, intimacy, and future goals. What I loved most is how the book encourages honest, open discussions. My partner and I discovered things we hadn't thought to talk about, even after being together for years. It helped us address potential challenges in a proactive and thoughtful way. The variety of questions is impressive—some are light and fun, while others delve into the deeper aspects of commitment. It’s not just about finding out if you're compatible but also about learning how to communicate effectively and build a strong foundation together. This guide is perfect for anyone considering engagement, whether you’ve been together for a short time or a long time. It will open up meaningful conversations and help you both understand each other on a deeper level. I highly recommend it to any couple looking to strengthen their bond before taking the next step!

It is a great book. It has some introduction but the questions are very good.

[Note: Those who are complaining about this book being religious are probably wasting their time in the marriage direction anyway since marriage itself was instituted by GOD! That's like complaining that lemons are yellow or oranges are orange. Of course, any conversation about marriage is going to be religious & spiritual! ANYWAY...] This book has been useful in helping my friend and I to ask meaningful questions and have deep discussions that we might never have thought to have. This book is very fitting for new relationships, and it is wise to use additional resources - which is why I purchased '1001 Questions...', 'Smart Listening...', and other resources. Take what you need, throw out the rest. We are buying TWO books so I can fill out my book and he can fill out his book and then we will exchange them. I've flipped through the book and used about 5 questions so far. It's been a blast! This had helpes us connect even more along with our shared religious services/bible studies, common interests, shared life experiences, and there's so much more to come! Note: This is not supposed to be a one and done fix-all folks! You should still do pre-courtship and pre-marital counseling.

Has brought my boyfriend and I so close! Great quality, slim book, lots of amazing questions.

"101 Questions to Ask Before You Get Engaged" is a book that evokes a mix of love and hate for its readers. On one hand, it earns admiration for its ability to confront the tough questions many couples shy away from. By pushing readers to delve into uncomfortable topics, it encourages them to confront fears and uncertainties head-on, ultimately fostering a deeper understanding of their partners. However, the book also sparks frustration and tension due to the intense debates it provokes. Some questions lead to lengthy discussions that can span days, testing the patience and understanding of both partners. Yet, amidst the heated debates, it reinforces the importance of sacrifice and compromise in a relationship. In essence, "101 Questions to Ask Before You Get Engaged" is a valuable addition to any book collection and relationship. Despite the challenges it presents, its ability to facilitate meaningful conversations and deepen understanding between partners ultimately outweighs any initial frustrations.

This book was recommended to me by an older couple who had done 101 Questions to Ask Before You Get Married. The book is premised on the idea that it's better to know about deal-breakers and disputes before you get married so that you have a chance to walk away. The author appears to be a Christian who believes that divorce is really not an option. I purchased this book to go through with my boyfriend before we got engaged. Each page has a separate question topic, some questions are multi-part and some are more simple. I was expecting that the book would start with easy questions that would gradually get harder - but I was wrong! Every question in this book is deep. We only got through about 25 of the questions but each question was a half hour discussion. Some questions were brought up again and again after doing that page because it really gets to the core of issues relevant to a marriage. Each page contains the question set, blank space to write answers, and a "take-away" based on the topic. The one that really got us was about moving. The question asked how each person feels about moving away, and my fiance and I have very different opinions - he wants to move no matter what, and I want to stay because my family and job are here. The "take away" pointed out that your spouse should be the primary person in your life (not family), and so nothing should stop you from moving with your spouse. So you can see how each question is really deep and gets to "core issues." I highly recommend this book to any couple who is thinking about getting engaged, who is engaged and in the process of getting married, or even those who are married and want to learn more about their spouses to improve their relationship. It gets hidden issues out in the open so they may be resolved before they really become hazardous to the relationship.

Reflexões necessárias sobre seu relacionamento e vida pessoal

Although the relationship I was in when I bought this book ended, I was happy to go through the questions. I realise that some of them don't even come to mind but are essential.

It helped me and my partner dissect what we want our future to hold

It has a few useful questions to ask your partner, things that are very obvious and probably you've already asked or know. Most of them are horribly worded. Being a Catholic I regret purchasing this. Don't waste your money.
