"This book is great!! A fabulous tool and resource. I unhesitatingly recommend it. The profound wisdom of sacred Writings, the accessible exercises, its sensible advice, all combine to provide the users with real tools for building strong relationships. But I must say that my favorite part of the book is the guidance to parents who need to know of their responsibilities in providing consent for marriage to their children. This wonderful law holds such promise for protecting family unity; this book helps to bring clarity and understanding to the parents' duty."

"Emerging data from the social sciences would suggest that it may be easier for a person to graduate from four years of medical school than to complete the first four years of marriage without significant violence, separation, or divorce. In the discouraging light of such facts, this workbook for creating strong, spiritually-based marriages by Susanne Alexander, Craig Farnsworth, and Johanna Merritt Wu could not have been written at a better time. It provides not only a set of practical tools for preparing for marriage and building strong families, but it also explores many of the psychological, philosophical and spiritual principles that animate healthy relationships in ways that are accessible to readers of diverse backgrounds and interests. It is indeed the most comprehensive and useful book in the area that I have yet seen."
