"Does your partner feel that youre too attached to your parents?" "Is there such thing as innocent flirting?" "Is it OK to cheat on your taxes?" Who talks about this sort of stuff while planning for the big day? Not enough of couples, according to relationship counselor Monica Leahy, think about how much more they have to learn - and continue to learn - about about their partners nature, thought-processes, and marital expectations. This book brings to the table issues that will arise in every marriage as well as the ones that may blindside you. These 1,001 questions are not at all trite and have been collaborated by the author with the idea that thinking about and answering these questions is not so much a compatibility test or an argument provoker as it is the couples first examination of the importance of communication, whether or not you agree with or like what your partner has to say.
