Before Saying "I Do"Because the decision to get married is one of the most important in life, you know that it requires careful consideration. In Before Saying I Do, James L. Christensen offers straightforward counsel from a Christian perspective for all who consider marriage. His realistic approach will allow you to honestly evaluate your relationship, meet difficulties constructively, and make necessary adjustments before the wedding, thereby building a secure foundation for marriage. A reflection guide at the beginning of each chapter will stimulate your thoughts and provide relevant questions that need to be discussed. Through the guidance shared here, you'll add a new dimension to your love and be assured that each of you understands the seriousness of the marriage commitment. - p. [i]. |
