Their seminal book, “Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts” has sold about 500,000 copies in about 10 years and has helped many couples in their relationships.

The workbook is part of a package of products from 2 doctors, husband and wife, who are also experienced relationship counsellors.

Through their own professional practice and research they have updated and improved the original work to accommodate the difficult environment faced by couples today.

The book and the program is not just aimed at engaged couples but also at people who are newly married, those embarking on their second marriage and even single couples who wish to deepen their relationship.

The workbook is one part of the overall program and there is one for men and one for women. It is designed to let you implement what you learn in the program in your relationship with a series of exercises and self-tests.

There are 24 exercises in all and each is designed to improve your understanding of how to improve your relationship with a personal “10 commandments”, your spiritual and sexual outlook and other foundation stones for a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

The workbooks, and indeed the whole program, are suitable for not only individual couples but small groups and for marriage and relationship counsellors who run their own programs.

The estimated time for completion of each exercise is also outlined so that there is no excuse for not fitting it into a sometimes hectic lifestyle.

One of the big benefits of the “Saving Your Marriage Before it Starts” program is that it encourages and assists couples to open up to each other before they embark on a lifelong commitment.
