Cute, quick read.
Very enjoyable book. Being newly engaged, I enjoyed the pre-wedding/engagement sections. If you are looking for a serious book about relationships and marriages, this isn't the book for you. It's a fun, entertaining book.

Waste of Time
What a waste of time this book is. Bourland tells you nothing you don't already know. The first third of the book, for instance, informs you that you may be stressed-out, teary or hungry (from pre-wedding diets) before the big day. No kidding! Or how about this gem of advice: if you can't afford the honeymoon you want, just charge it...never mind that financial difficulties are a leading source of stress for newly married couples. The worst part is when (quite unnecessarily) she injects her own political views into the book (same-sex marriages are civil rights! virginity before marriage is out-dated!). I returned this book within three days.

Great guide for newlyweds!
My only complaint with this book is that the first couple chapters are about the engagement/wedding part. Other then that, I thought the book was great. It's mostly geared for couples who didn't live together beforehand. I'd been married 3 months when I read the book and it's helped alot with the transition. Before reading this book I didn't really understand our conflicts or some of my emotions, but this put them all into words. It was a very easy read and I'd recommend it to all new brides (or even before the wedding since there are those few first chapters....). Similar Products
