Book excerpt: The relationship expert from the Ladies' Home Journal, the Wall Street Journal, and Lifetime Television shows how to prevent marriage problems before they start There's nothing wrong with starter jobs and starter homes, but starter marriages? Relationship expert Monica Mendez Leahy is on a mission to help readers make their marriage last. Her 1,001 Questions to Ask Before You Get Married offers a reality check for couples on the marriage path, helping them realize how much they have yet to discover about their partner's nature, thought processes, lifestyle, and marital expectations. Engaged couples learn to discuss issues deeper than "chicken or fish" and to broach subjects that are often ignored before the nuptials yet essential for the foundation of an intimate, long-lasting relationship. Posed in a variety of fun formats, including multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and hypotheticals, these questions include topics such as: "Does your partner feel that you're too attached to your parents?" "Is there such a thing as innocent flirting?" "Is it OK to cheat on your taxes?" And more

More than half of all couples who become engaged this year will never make it to the altar. Why? Leading experts believe it's because couples fail to really get to know their potential mate before getting engaged. Relationship expert and noted couples counselor Norm Wright steers potential brides and grooms through a series of soul-searching questions to discern if they've really met "the One." Couples will be much more confident about whether or not to pursue marriage after completing these in-depth and personal questions. Norm also addresses the delicate subject of calling off the wedding if readers discover that a potential mate isn't actually meant to be a life partner.

Book excerpt: When we first get together with someone for that nervous first date, fundamental questions such as "could I see myself having kids with this person?" don't necessarily go through our heads. Instead, we worry that we might embarrass ourselves, spill a drink over them, and prompt their best friend to make that "emergency" phone-call to get them out of the date. We might start to think about key questions after the third or fourth date, because this is now usually the point where things are starting to get a little bit more serious. You may even have been introduced to their family by now. But even after you have become a couple, there are still numerous conversations and questions that you probably don't have with your partner. These are the important conversations, such as Do you both want to start a family? Are your values the same? Sometimes we don't ask these questions because we're frightened that the answers won't match up with ours and thereby spoil our bliss. And so we continue living happily with our new partner, blissfully unaware that we may disagree on key issues. Eventually, though, there will come a time when you will both need to ask and answer a number of fundamental questions. This time usually comes when you get engaged. The questions will reveal whether the pair of you really are meant to be together, or whether you're actually just putting off the inevitable. But the sooner you ask these questions, the sooner you can either get married or amicably call it quits. In this e-book we will take a look at ten key conversations that you and your partner really need to have before you get married. They will help you to learn a lot more about one another, and who knows? They might help you to fall even more in love
