"1000 Questions For Couples" by Michael Webb

One of the biggest reasons marriages end in divorce is because couples fail to ask the big questions before they walk down the aisle.

If couples simply spent some time asking each other the questions that really matter, they'd greatly increase their chances of staying together.

The great thing about a "question book" is that it makes it easier to ask those difficult questions and encourages an environment to address them.

But is Michael Webb's "1000 Questions For Couples" the right book for this?

In short, yes. Most question books 'beat around the bush,' never really providing the important questions, and others simply don't have enough questions.

On the other hand, Webb has put together the most comprehensive collection of questions, covering every single topic you'd ever want to know about before tying the knot.

It includes tough subjects like money, children & child rearing, career, past and present relationships, religion, morals, convictions & beliefs, personality, and even sex.

But don't get me wrong ­ while there are many serious and tough topics to discuss, there are also many "lighter" yet just as important topics, including the car and driving, vacations, food and well being, pets, and your favorite things.

That's one thing I really loved about this book. It covered every conceivable topic from the super serious to the light-hearted and fun, making it easy for couples to start with easy questions and build their way up to important ones.

Also, a great bonus is having the ability to deliver 3 - 5 of the questions to my email each day, making everything automatic. I just go about my day and get new questions to ask my loved one, without having to really think about it.

In all, there's nothing really negative I can say about this book. It delivers exactly what it says and covers every question you would ever want to ask your loved one.

I highly recommend this book for everyone. NOT just couples who are thinking of getting married but also couples who just want to feel closer together, or people dating, who just want more things to talk about.




Thank You

101 Secrets To Building Happy Lasting Relationships







Dating and marriage are different than they were twenty years ago. In today's society, more than 50% of all marriages fail for one reason or another. Just thinking about that makes "commitment" seem pretty scary. When relationships are faced with challenges, many people quit trying. Dating is more like a marathon, trying to date as many people as possible instead of taking time to get to know someone at a deeper level. For married couples, divorce is not biased. Whether married for thirty years or eight months, the outcome can be the same.

 The fact is, relationships, whether dating or married, are a lot of work. Things don't always go perfectly, couples fight and it takes a 100% commitment from both parties to make the relationship a success. Often, when people break off a relationship, they feel as though something is missing. The "spark" has gone, leaving one or both individuals feeling inadequate and unfulfilled.

Even though the odds are not very good, healthy and long-lasting relationships are certainly possible as proven by many successful couples. Look at Paul Newman and Joanne Woodard, Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman, or Nancy and Ronald Reagan. What secrets do they possess? The answer is they all work hard at their relationships. They made a conscious choice to love their mate rather than rely on the "warm and fuzzy" feelings everyone knows will fade. By making love a choice you are making a decision to stay with it even in bad times.

Think of it like choosing a car. You pick the make, the model, the year. You pick the color and other features you feel are best for you. After driving your new car for a couple of months, you realize perhaps you should have purchased a larger car, or maybe the leather seats would have been better, or on hot sunny days, a sunroof would have been great. However, it is now too late. You choose to keep your car and make it work. It's the same for marriage. Not everything will be perfect and there will be major obstacles to overcome, but you've made your decision and now you choose to make it work.

There are hundreds of things you can do to better your relationship. To get you going in the right direction, we've chosen over a hundred ways to help you build, strengthen, and enhance your relationship.

Remember, little steps taken every day will lead to great success.
