300 Questions for a Vibrant Marriage
Just because you married him or her doesn’t mean you will always be connected or know what they like, dislike, believe in and so forth at every moment in time. Marriage is a process that requires time spent and questions answered. By reader request, this is the sequel to Alder’s first book, 300 Questions LDS Couples Should Ask Before Marriage. We all assume we know the person we married. Some of us are good about discussing every topic with their spouse. But then there are the rest of us that fall into relationship ruts. The communication just slows down. People's opinions, likes and dislikes and views of the world sometimes change over the years. You can use her book as a light fun read to get to know your spouse all over again or you can use her book to really open up a dialog with your spouse if your having troubles in your marriage. The answers to the questions from your spouse might surprise you. At the very least, it's a tool to see if you still connect with one another. This book touches on all the areas you should know about your spouse—their dreams, there likes and dislikes, their beliefs and even their views during tough times (tackling tough topics that might come up in a troubled marriage.)

I am a Goodreads giveaway winner.
I really liked this book. I read it once through and plan on actually getting a notebook for me and my husband to answer all the questions. I can't wait to do the workbook with my husband. I know that it will make our marriage better. I can see already that I don't know him as well as I thought I did.

A book like 300 Questions LDS Couples Should Ask is perfect for jump-starting important conversation in marriage. I wish this book had been around early on in our relationship. We’ve answered several of the questions and have realized that we don’t go out on dates nearly enough, we both want to go on a couples’ mission when we get older, I have a lot more close friends than he does, and my hubby is interested in the Chinese culture (I never knew that before this book).
300 Questions LDS Couples Should Ask is divided into sections:
-Rekindling the Romance and Intimacy in Your Marriage
-Reexamining Your Views and Beliefs in Your Marriage
-Strengthening Your Spiritual Path
-Reaquainting Yourself with Your Spouse
-Reconnecting with Your Spouse during Tough Times
-Planning Your Goals and Future Together
My husband and I agree that open, honest and sincere communication is what has made our marriage work. Having a common goal and testimonies of Jesus Christ and the truthfulness of the gospel are also a huge part of marital success for us. We are not perfect and neither is our marriage, but respect for each other and focusing on the eternal aspect of our relationship has brought us closer together and made our marriage stronger.
I give 300 Questions LDS Couples Should Ask for a More Vibrant Marriage a solid 4 stars for encouraging couples to talk about the things that really matter in their relationship.

I love all this authors books....they are short to the point and important. She leaves all the fluff and Dr. Phil stuff to him. Instead she writes books that help couples open up dialogs with one another. They are simple workbook type books to help people out. Some of the questions were for people going through tough times (possibly divorce) but that was only one chapter...it didn't apply to me but I am sure if you were in that situation the questions are valid and worth asking. But I had the most fun with was the reaquainting chapter. Lots of stuff I thought I knew and found out I didn't know half the stuff I thought. I guess I better work on that....anyways it was a fun read to take on a trip.

Wow is all I can say. Just when I thought I had talked about everything with my honey....I guess I didn't. And the funny thing is we did discuss a lot of topics in this book but people change over time like the author suggested. What I thought I knew just wasn't the case. Also, what I thought he had down about me---was way off base in a few area. This is a good light read to take on a road trip. I loved it. I gave it to all my girlfriends that were getting married along with her first book.

Some of the questions are good, but many are questions that married couples already know the answers to (like those that want you to talk about how you will deal with certain situations), and some are really not appropriate because they do things like dredge up past mistakes. The questions can be fun or even create a wonderfully deep evening, but choose them carefully, and not all will even apply to you.

Got this from a friend on my wedding anniversary....it was fun to read with my wife. Loved the first chapter (wink!/blush). This was a great book that we pull out from time to time on a rainy day and reconnect with one another. Just another great book of questions to help me out!

I love this book! My hubby and I read a few questions from it each night, which has lead to some very interesting conversations. Thanks to the author for writing such a great book!

Good questions for the most part, but that's it. Will use it with my husband, but not the insight I was looking for. got this book because I read some of her quotes on goodreads and thought they were insightful, however, the book is full of questions and quotes from other people. Not what I was looking for.
