Preparing Couples for Love and Marriage: a Pastor's Resource James L. Furrow

Pre-marriage guidance in a flexible four-session framework to help couples begin a successful marriage. While no one can smooth away all the rough spots in the marital road ahead, couples can be coached to pay attention to warning signs, see the bumps before they hit them, and deal more skillfully with inevitable conflicts. The good news is that you don?t need any formal background in counseling, because the kind of work we?re talking about isn?t counseling?it?s coaching couples to respond positively to the differences between them. It?s not about having all the answers; but helping couples manage difficulties before they become serious threats to the marriage.
