The Hard Questions: 100 Questions to Ask Before You Say "I Do"

Thank you for great quality, price and delivery.

I bought this book because me and my boyfriend are hoping to live together soon, which eventually presumably means we'll get married, and I would rather get a heads up as to potential scenarios I may have to deal with in the future!The book is broken down into different sections: Home, Money, Work, Sex, Health & Food, Family, Children, Community & friends and spiritual life.And it does cover some very valid questions. I actually ended up discovering that a lot of the questions in there we had already talked about, however, I also discovered that I just wasn't able to answer a lot of the questions yet because it's just not relevant for me/ our life at the moment. It's often questions that you will discover as you end up living together. I don't think you truly know what someone is like until you live with them! So I think I bought this book a little too early for my needs! But it did work in reassuring me!The book is laid out where underneath each question there is a space to write My Answer, Other Half answer, Our answer, which I guess could be good for some people. But I think it's a waste of paper!I also think the sex section is a little bit old fashioned/ religious without actually saying it as it clearly is aimed at people who are virgins before they get married!I do think the book is a keeper though, as it covers all aspects of life (and death!) and so when you and your partner are coming up to the next hurdle after marriage, like moving house, or having a baby, then you can whip out the book and use it as a starting point to cover some potentially tricky subjects.

I bought this for a friend who is getting married late in life but ended up keeping it myself - it was too well-thumbed to give away. It's a well-arranged list of (what should be obvious) questions that you need to ask your partner - and more importantly, yourself - before you tie the knot. From religion and holidays to furnishing styles, there are dozens of minefields that can cause marital strife, and even though you may not know what you'll feel about some things ten or twenty years down the line, it's worth remembering that there are areas where you may need to delve to get your partner's honest take on the matter.This book doesn't qualify as rocket science but it's an organised way of identifying what - if anything - needs to be aired before you say I do. I shall hang onto it, just in case....
