About the Book
Most couples spend a large amount of time and energy planning their wedding, but give little attention to planning beyond that point, for their marriage. The purpose of Planning Your Marriage is to help engaged couples prepare for married life. The greatest amount of time, energy, and serious conversation of a couple preparing for marriage should be directed toward the marriage itself. As grand or as simple as it may be, the wedding takes only one day. Marriage is intended for a lifetime.
In this guidebook, author Paul E. Sago offers wisdom gained both in years of experience as a pre-marital and marriage counselor and in his own situation as a man with over twenty years of an extremely happy marriage. Planning Your Marriage originated as counseling tool—a questionnaire/workbook of seventy topics, created and used by Dr. Sago in his counseling practice and designed to aid engaged or married couples in improving their communication skills.
Be ready, not only for the walk down the aisle, but for the longer walk that comes afterward. Plan your marriage and be ready for anything—together.
