"...
impulse marriages rarely last because the secret to a strong
marriage is really knowing who you are, who your intended
is, and then seeing if the two of you are a right match for
each other. Feelings are simply not enough. You really want
to know if you and your prospective mate are compatible? Then
you ought to get this interesting book ...
...The
discussions prompted by this book will definitely help you
discover and develop common values and strategies. So before
you pick out a dress or hire a wedding planner, make sure
the guy or the gal is an intelligent choice, a good match

"Many couples get engaged and then they get caught up in the
organization for the wedding; but how much time has gone into
what happens after the wedding-the life! [Knowing Me, Knowing
You] is full of important questions…. "
-Vicki
Gabereau, The Vicki Gabereau Show, CTV, February 13,
2004
"[A]
good portion of the book really made me take a look inward
at myself and my issues. What kind of person am I and, just
as important, how does my husband see me? … I loved the fact
that the quiz really made me think about situations that I
didn't give any thought to before we were married…. It's thought-provoking
stuff and they [the writers] implore their readers to be honest
when answering the questions."

Goggins, The Barrie Advance, July 2, 2003
"What
a great idea! …The book is called Knowing Me, Knowing You.
It's actually a multiple-choice quiz for engaged couples,
but I think anybody in a relationship could appreciate some
of the questions and some of the feedback you might get-some
pillow talk if you will."
-Chris
Lesage, Daytime, Rogers Cable TV, July 17, 2003
"So
before you get married, or even if you are married and would
like to know your spouse better, GET THIS BOOK SET! … The
key is that the man and woman fill out their answers SEPARATELY,
then they come together to discuss their answers. In a regular
counseling session, it would be too easy for a compliant participant
to back-pedal from some point of disagreement; but much more
difficult when the answer has been marked in black and white.
While these books don't require a professional counselor at
all, I highly recommend them to professional counselors themselves.
To say these books are comprehensive would seem to be an understatement….
POST IT … on your shopping list for every engaged couple that
you know, and married couples who would like to know each
other better."
-Sharon
Powell, Make-A-Note Newsletter, June 2003
"Based
on my experience using Knowing Me, Knowing You for pre-marital
counseling sessions, I highly recommend it as a useful tool
for discovering important issues that must be dealt with before
marriage. Its easy-to- use format is extremely thorough with
questions on virtually every topic vital to a solid marriage."
-Pastor
John Boyachek, College and Careers Pastor, Emmanuel Baptist
Church, Barrie, ON
"As
a former Pastor and now the President of a global ministry,
I was delighted to discover Knowing Me, Knowing You. This
will be an invaluable resource for all of us who continue
to do pre and post marital counselling. I will definitely
recommend it to my peer group as a 'must have'."
-Mark
D. Middleton, President, GlobalTalk
"Peter
and I opened the books for curiosity on Sunday [after the
shower] and found ourselves not wanting to put them down!
Thank you so much for such a unique, useful gift."
-Kelly
and Peter (In a thank you note sent to the person who gave
Knowing Me, Knowing You as a bridal shower gift)
"The
Stephens have created a refreshingly new approach to dialogue
between engaged couples. This dialogue helps to illuminate
a couple's unspoken expectations, which, if not addressed,
will smolder over time and become potentially toxic in a sustained
relationship. This book would be a great help in focusing
counseling around specific issues."
-Dr.
Don Morgenson, Ph.D. Clinical Psychology from the Institute
of Psychiatry, University of London
"The
quiz was a lot of fun! It enabled my boyfriend and me to talk
about things we may not have talked about otherwise . . .
. All aspects were covered thoroughly. It was enjoyable to
read."
-Kristine Blades, reader, age 23
"Great
idea. Wish my oldest daughter had these books before she married
THE JERK!!!"
-Rick
