![]() ![]() When it comes to marriage lots of people think preparing before hand isn’t important. I received an advance copy of the book from the publisher in order to be give an honest review. The opinions I have expressed are my own, and I was not required to write a positive review. This would be a helpful tool for premarital counseling.ĭisclosure: I received this book free from Baker Books through the Baker Books Bloggers program. It includes personal illustrations from the author’s life, interviews with other couples, and examples from history and current events. The book is well written, funny, practical, and encouraging. Each chapter ends with “Am I ready?”-questions to answer personally “Strengthening our knot”-questions to discuss as a couple and “Closing prayer”-a prayer for growth in that area of the relationship. In addition to the big 3-sex, finances, and in-laws-the author writes about communication and conflict resolution, roles and responsibilities, the role of faith, children, companionship, and being part of a community. From his experience as director of marriage ministry at Watermark Community Church, Scott has crafted a number of questions to get couples talking about twelve key issues of life and marriage. These are the convictions and concerns that lie behind Scott Kedersha’s book, Ready or Knot? 12 Conversations Every Couple Needs to Have before Marriage. If they want their marriage to last a lifetime, how can they prepare for a successful marriage before they tie the knot? They will spend thousands of dollars and countless hours picking the perfect dress, venue, flowers, and cake. Many couples spend more time planning their wedding than they do preparing for their marriage. Though that would be hard, it is much easier than an empty marriage or divorce! If your already married, know that you can glean so much wisdom for your marriage even though the conversations are directed to those that aren't married yet. I'm also excited to hear the stories of couples that walked away from these conversations knowing that they need not to pursue marriage. I know this book is going to be a beautiful ministry to so many as couples will look back through the hard processing and be so thankful they had these conversations before they pursued engagement or said 'I do'. I see Ready or Knot going on the offensive and giving couples a great opportunity to process through whether they are ready for the next step and ready for to death to us part. That's why this book is such a game-changer, because it allows couples to have essential conversations and whether or not they should pursue to walk down the aisle. Marriage is such a joy, but for many it can also be one of the loneliest and dissatisfying relationships they could have never imagined. That is why this book is such an important addition for couples pursuing engagement or pursuing their wedding day.and have they truly processed if they are ready or knot! Scott Kedersha takes couples through this process with 12 conversations that every couple needs to have before they get so focused on the color scheme and location of their wedding. Still, there is one area I have noticed that has been lacking in the marriage book category, helping couples process before they tie the knot. There is so much truth being shared in Marriage Books today. ![]()
