You wouldn’t rush into a large purchase without asking hard questions first. Marriage deserves at least that much. This book provides the practical questionnaires and exercises that surface the sensitive topics which, left unexplored before the wedding, can quietly jeopardize a marriage later.
Pulling from the wisdom of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and C. S. Lewis and pairing it with challenging, strategic questions, Todd Bauerle gives couples a way to see past infatuation, lust, and wishful thinking and think clearly together. Completed honestly, the exercises are the best insurance against a costly mistake — and, if the person across the table is the right one, they accelerate the relationship instead.
Todd writes as a retired investment advisor whose own marriage — a Yankee and a Southern belle, a special-needs child, a near-miss with SIDS, his wife’s traumatic brain injury, breast cancer, and chronic pain — has been tested by nearly everything a marriage can face, and held. Read it before the engagement, during the planning, or years in when you need to remember why you said yes.
Engaged couples, newlyweds, premarital counselors and small groups, and anyone giving a wedding gift that will still matter in ten years.
