"We helped develop and lead a marriage preparation ministry for 13 years and have worked with married couples for over 30 years. I have read several marriage preparation books and workbooks, and Nearly Married is now my go to resource for couples. I prefer it over many of the best selling marriage preparation resources available. The content is thorough and biblically grounded, the tone is warm, and it reads easily. The book includes meaningful discussion prompts for couples throughout. This will be our new required book for couples we work with. Every couple preparing for marriage would benefit from this resource."

"I've been married for nearly 20 years, yet my wife and I found many topics of discussion while reading this book. We did pre-marital counseling, but would have loved to have this book back then. Unabashedly Christian, yet not in a way to turn off others. Some quick points I found helpful while reading to give an idea to others thinking of buying this book: Communication is key to any healthy relationship Put your partner first! Be intentional in the things you do Discuss expectations That last one (discussing expectations) is incredibly important for nearlyweds - we all have unspoken expectations - speak them out! The book does a great job of going through the major hurdles couples face in regards to those expectations, providing plenty of examples and topics that all should discuss in full before getting married. Again, highly recommend you pick this up, regardless if you've been married for decades, or just getting ready to take the plunge."

"This is such an effective communication and teaching tool! EVERYONE who is dating, engaged, newlyweds, or even in long term marriages - there’s something in here for anyone. Highly recommend! Great gift idea also!!!"

"Me and my Now husband loved this book. the way it’s formatted through the parts, sections and questions made it very easy to read and slowly digest. I hope they come out with another book for people who are now married. The part about spiritual warfare and how the enemy uses distrust as a weapon was so helpful for me who struggles with a lot of anxiety and trust issues. This helped me feel like I had more of an understanding of what was going on in my head and a new strength to show the enemy that I was not going to listen instead of spiraling. This book is so inspiring."

"Finding the right resource to give to nearly-weds as they prepare to marry should not be taken lightly. This study book is absolutely beautiful and hits all the marks of a powerful, impactful, thought-provoking couple study.…foremost, it is completely grounded in Biblical Truth and written by a couple who is passionate about creating healthy families. It delves into all the important topics and subjects that are vital to a healthy marriage, but at the same time stays light-hearted, not presenting “rules”, but gently guiding couples to learn more about each other and Gods beautiful design of marriage."
