Premarital questions workbook with 300 prompts for engaged couples

This premarital questions workbook holds 300 questions for the two of you to explore before the wedding, sorted into 12 themes, with a separate answer column for each partner. Across 42 undated pages you will also find a notes page after each theme, a page to picture your shared future, a place to record what you agree on and a list of subjects to revisit. It comes as an instant PDF download in US Letter and A4, and nothing is posted.

It is a calm way to learn more about each other while the rest of the wedding planning carries on.

How the premarital questions workbook guides your talks

You each answer on your own first, then trade pages, read and discuss, so both voices are heard. The themes reach the subjects many couples avoid: debt and spending limits, holidays with the in-laws, if and when to have children, housework, careers and the way each of you handles a disagreement.

Spot a question that needs more time? Tick its talk more box, gather it on the follow-up page and record your decision on the agreements page. A conversation plan with a date for each theme turns 300 prompts into twelve unhurried talks that fit around everything else.

Who this marriage prep workbook is for

• Engaged pairs hoping to cover the important subjects before the wedding
• Couples weighing an engagement or a shared home who want to see whether their plans line up
• Long distance couples looking for structured talks during video calls or visits
• A meaningful present for an engagement party or a bridal shower, for any pair of brides, grooms or a bride and groom
• Couples who would rather talk things through on paper than tap through a phone quiz

Gentle design for unhurried conversations

• Elegant, minimalist white pages with soft blush pink touches that are light on ink
• Generous margins on each page, so a home printer never trims your writing
• Two portrait sizes: US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm)
• Undated, so you can start whenever suits you, well before the wedding or once you are married
• Partner A and Partner B columns that fit every couple
• Fits a binder or a clipboard, or ask a print shop to spiral bind it
