Pre-Marital Counseling Resources

I’ve used Called Together and found it contains a good mix of helpful projects for the happy couple to work through. Looks like it may have been updated since I last used it, but here’s an Amazon link:

For the pastor - Three to get ready by Howard Eyrich

For the husband - The Complete Husband by Lou Priolo

For the couple - Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas

Christian Living in the Home by Jay Adams

Found: God’s Will by John MacArthur

Of limited value for specific discussion topics - The Divorce myth by J. Carl Laney

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray

I’ve found both “The Five Love Languages” and “Love & Respect” to be quite helpful reads for understanding each other. There are a few good books to recommend about intimacy issues as well, like “Sheet Music” and “The Act of Marriage” if your counseling will include those aspects.
