In this article I look at a famous relationship help book called “Saving your marriage before it starts” which has amazingly sold more than 500,000 copies since it was first published.


It is of particular benefit to couples who are engaged or are newly wed.

Saving Your Marriage Before it Starts by 2 famous relationship doctors whose main modus operandi is to ask 7 questions to help shatter various myths surrounding marriage.

The main purpose of the book is to equip couples with tools they will need to maintain a successful marriage in these turbulent times. Since it was first published 10 years ago it has been updated and refined through the experience of the authors whose experience and research has ensured that this book has moved with the times.

It is more than just a book because part of the package also includes workbooks for both men and women which allows each person to self analyse through a series of questions and exercises to be carried out.

Also utilized and included are CDs and DVDs which includes the experiences of real life couples and there is also a module dealing with second marriage couples. The curriculum kit includes all these elements in 1 pack but each component can be bought separately.

The authors of this book, as well as being doctors, are marriage counselors and are married to each other and can draw on their own experiences as well as the huge amount of relationship counseling sessions that they conduct each year.

They draw on this experience to help couples make the transition from single to married and with the huge emphasis on wedding preparations nowadays, it is easy for young couples not to turn their minds at all to the relationship into which they are entering.

This book is written by 2 committed christians but it is less a spiritual book than a great tool kit for the building and enhancing of relationships, whether married or not. The use of the DVDs, video, CDs and workbooks makes it a great resource for anybody involved in premarital counselling also.

The book is built around 7 central questions..

1) Have you faced down the myth of marriage with honesty
2) Can you say what you mean and understand what you hear
3) Have you developed the habit of happiness
4) Are you and your partner soul mates
and so on.
