"Preparing for Marriage God's Way has been the staple of my pre-marriage counseling for many years. The activities and exercises in this book help couples understand their family of origin and the models that they bring to their marriage. I have found that using this book also helps couples identify the pressure points in their relationship, as well as the path forward for resolving the conflicts that occur again and again. This study will get couples into the Word and engaged in conversations they would never have without completing these studies." — Tedd Tripp, President, Shepherding the Heart Ministries

"God's wonderful gift of marriage is struggling mightily in today's world. Christian couples have great opportunities and responsibilities to glorify God as husbands and wives before a watching world. Pastors ought to take advantage of the opportunity to help these couples prepare for this solemn commitment. Wayne Mack's outstanding manual helps couples get to the core issues of marriage. For more than fifteen years, I have had couples work through the lessons of this book individually and then together. Afterward we spend delightful time reflecting together on their findings. Week by week these men and women become transformed by God's Word to honor the Lord in their new callings as husbands and wives." — John Crotts, Pastor; Author of Mighty Men: The Starter's Guide to Leading your Family and Tying the Knot Tighter, co-authored with Martha Peace
