Helpful

The Naurator has a soothing voice. this audio book, has some excellent points. and helps you to be equipped with the answers and knowledge you need. when considering marriage.

Honest and helpful

Questions for Couples Before Marriage is the kind of audiobook that sparks the conversations you wish you’d had sooner. Whether you’re engaged, seriously dating, or just thinking about forever with someone, this book offers thoughtful, sometimes deep, sometimes fun questions that go way beyond the basics.

The narration is warm and easy to follow, making it feel less like a lecture and more like a gentle guide for real relationship talk. Topics range from finances and values to intimacy, conflict, future goals, and even past baggage—nothing too heavy-handed, just genuinely useful.

so valuable

I love how engaging the narrator is. The questions that are discussed are so important to a marriage. This book has some fantastic ideas of things to do to start your marriage on the right foot.

The prep I actually needed

I honestly didn’t expect a test-prep book to make me feel calmer, but this one did.

When I first decided to take the SHRM-CP, I was overwhelmed and scared I’d waste time on the wrong material. Working with this book changed that. The questions feel like real HR situations, not generic trivia, and the explanations don’t just tell you the right answer—they teach you how to think the way the exam expects you to think.

The full-length practice test was a huge confidence booster. Doing it under timed conditions showed me exactly where I stood and what I needed to focus on, instead of leaving me in that constant “I hope I’m doing enough” panic.

If you’re hesitating about buying it, I’d say this: it doesn’t just help you pass the exam—it gives structure, clarity, and real confidence. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s tired of guessing how to study and wants a focused, BASK-aligned path to actually feeling ready.

There is more to marriage than love

Some questions need to be asked and answered before deciding to spend the rest of your life with another person. Marriage requires more than love; it demands that you know one another deeply by asking questions that dive into each other's true thoughts, nature, goals, marital expectations, and personality. This guide helps you have those in-depth conversations, uncovering crucial topics that couples often neglect before marriage. Discuss your respective families' histories and dynamics, and how you would handle relationships with in-laws. You also need to decide if and when you want to have children, how many, and your parenting styles. Find out how each of you handles disagreements. Being honest and having conversations with each other is the foundation of your relationship. Understanding each other's habits and communication styles can help you navigate differences. For a relationship to thrive, you must be honest and committed to exploring these topics together, as it lays the groundwork for a lasting marriage. A major issue is money. Financial disagreements cause marital stress and can lead to divorce. Discussing your attitudes toward money, debts, saving, spending, and financial goals is crucial for a strong partnership. Financial transparency and creating a budget together can prevent future arguments. This guide will help you and your partner find out how compatible you are.

Questions that can transform your relationship

I just finished listening to this audiobook, and it surprised me in a good way. It starts with the premise of asking a series of questions for couples that are thinking about getting married so they can talk about topics that often are left untouched.
Really quickly, the book is basically a questionnaire leading to conversations about personal values, finances, expectations about the future, intimacy, roles, challenges, and visions of shared life. It is sort of a "now what?" for two people who are trying to form a future together long-term.
About my opinion... I really liked that the book sounds like having a deep conversation with your significant other. It kind of forces you to go further than you would otherwise go. It feels like it would be good for a couple that is planning to take the next step whatever that step is... living together, getting married, having kids. This book provides a space to talk about things that might otherwise be left unsaid. It is a great reality check.

A Must-Read Before Saying “I Do”

Questions for Couples Before Marriage is one of those books I wish we’d had sooner. The questions are thoughtful, creative, and go way beyond the usual “kids, money, and chores” topics. We ended up having some deep, honest conversations about expectations, past hurts, and future goals that we’d never really put into words before.
What I really liked is that the prompts don’t feel like therapy homework—they’re natural conversation starters that you can use over dinner, on a walk, or before bed. Some questions are light and fun, others are more serious, but they all helped us better understand each other’s values and communication styles.
If you’re engaged, seriously dating, or even newly married, this book is an excellent tool to “save your marriage before it starts” by getting on the same page early. Highly recommended for any couple who wants to build a strong, healthy relationship on purpose, not by accident.

Thoughtful

Great listen for couples moving toward marriage. Conversations all should have. Really get to know your partner.
