Couples Should Ask These Questions To Have A Happy Life Long Relationship.

Hi my name is Anthony Acres:

I recently read this book 1000 Questions For Couples written by Michael Webb and I highly recommend it. This book is ideal for couples who are thinking of getting married and for married couples who just want to enrich their relationship.

One big reason a marriage ends is because couples fail to ask questions about each other. How can you make your partner happy if you have no idea of what it takes to makes him or her happy. What couples normally do is neglect to ask questions and hope that they'll learn what they need to know along the way. If couples would just take the time to ask the questions that truly matter prior to committing, they'd really improve their chances of staying together. The good thing about an "ask questions book" is that it makes it easier for couples to ask the complex questions. It also supports an environment for couples to deal with the questions.

But is Michael Webb's 1000 Questions for Couples the right book for this? Yes it is, because most books don’t include the vital questions. In a relationship couples need to ask questions, and other books simply don't include enough of the important ones. Where as, Webb's book has put together the most complete group of questions for couples to ask each other. It covers every single question you'd ever want to know about your partner. There are questions that you’d want to ask before considering marriage. There are also good questions for married couples that will enrich the marriage and take it to a higher level.

If there are problems in a marriage, this book includes questions that help couples work through those problems. When divorce is at hand for couples, they tend to consider marriage counseling. There are questions in this book that could possibly put the marriage back on track though. So before a couple invests their time and money on marriage counseling, they should try an alternative. Take the time to read 1000 Questions for Couples. The book is a good alternative to marriage counseling and created to help couples realize a strong, healthy and happier relationship.

Do all couples with issues need marriage counseling? Is it the best route to take to restore your relationship? If both husband and wife don't know what issues are hurting their marriage, they may certainly need marriage counseling. However I give a word of caution to couples. Not all marriage counselors are equal. Needless to say, some marriage counselors are better equipped to handle your particular situation than others. Make sure you and your spouse are comfortable with the counselor you choose. If you're not, find another one. I’ll be the first to say that while counseling may be good for some couples, it may not be the best choice for all. It can be helpful and is necessary for certain situations, but maybe your situation doesn't need it. Marriage counseling often uses theories that may or may not match your principles. Couples should ask questions and maybe try this book as an alternative first.

Can you save your marriage without the time and expense of marriage counseling? Reading Michael Webb's book certainly won’t hurt. If you think you really know your partner. I think couples may be surprised how many of the questions found in 1000 Questions for Couples they've failed to ask. I don’t mean to over simplify but if you want revealing “ah-ha” experiences in your relationship, then simply ask the questions found in this book.

Ask Questions About Tough Subjects Like :

Money
Children
Career
Past and present relationships
Religion
Morals
Convictions & beliefs
And even sex.

There are many tough and serious questions for couples to ask and discuss with each other. There are also many less serious, yet just as important questions. Questions like, the car and driving, vacations, food, pets, and your favorite things are included.

There's one thing couples will really love about this book. It covers every possible topic from questions for married couples; to the super serious, plus, the light-hearted and funny questions couples should ask each other. This format makes it easy for couples to start with the easy questions and build their way up to the more serious ones.

Also, a huge bonus is that couples can have 3 - 5 of the questions delivered by email each day, making everything automatic. They just go about their day and get new questions to ask without having to really think about it.

In all, there's nothing really negative I can say about this book. It delivers exactly what it says and covers all of the questions couples would ever want to ask each other.

Here Are 5 Tips That Will Help Keep Couples Together:

Do you know that love does not conquer all? Often couples marry with the idea that their “chemistry” or their undying love for each other will keep them together forever. They lose sight of the fact that there are questions that couples should ask each other before they decide to marry. Almost 50% of marriages end in divorce these days. It’s obvious that couples never take time to ask each other questions before marriage. Therefore, it pays to know what questions to ask. Marriage is a serious life long commitment for a couple. So why not know as much about each other as possible to insure the permanence of that commitment? In a relationship there are questions that men need to know about women and questions women need to know about men. In a marriage there are questions that couples need to ask each other to keep that marriage alive and vibrant.

TIP# 1--SHOULD COUPLES CONTINUE DATING? Over the years, couples often drift apart. A marriage becomes stale because couples fail to do new and special things together. This usually comes about by failure to ask questions. Not finding out what your partner would like to do or try can take the excitement out of a relationship. That's why going on new and refreshing dates is so important. In fact, there is something about “dating” that creates a sense of magic in couples and can even fix a broken relationship. While on a date, couples are more considerate, they ask questions of each other and even flirt. Couples on a date put more effort into their appearance. They have more uninterrupted time to ask questions and be in touch on a deeper level. This naturally draws them closer together. So what are you waiting for? Stuck for ideas? Spend the day at the aquarium, zoo, museum, carnival, bookstore, beach or park.

TIP# 2--SHOULD COUPLES MARRY WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP? Couples needs to date at least a year before marriage. Statistics show that couples that don’t date at least a year have a significantly higher divorce rate. They also wind up attending marriage counseling at a greater rate. At least a year of dating allows time for many emotions to surface. It also gives couples plenty of time to ask the questions that will determine the duration of the relationship. During this time couples will see many character traits revealed. You can adore someone in the summer, but despise them by the time winter comes. Asking someone for his or her hand in marriage on the third date isn't romantic, it's a crap shoot. Give the relationship time so that you can ask questions to find out your partners likes, dislikes, goals, needs and nature.

TIP# 3--CAN COUPLES GIVE EACH OTHER TOO MUCH PRAISE? Most of the time, as a relationship matures, couples tend to stop praising each other and asking questions. They 'assume' their partner already knows what they're thinking. You should never let a day go by without praising your partner for something that they've done. Also the question, “how can I make this day a better day for you” will go a long way to a happy relationship. Compliment your mate on their cooking or their chosen attire for that day. Let them know that you think they're the greatest person in the world. If you want love and romanced from your partner, love and romance them first. When they feel loved, it is much easier to return that love. Are you a super supporter of what your mate does and says? Do you cheer them on and praise them constantly? Or do they constantly hear boos or silence?

TIP# 4--SHOULD COUPLES CONTINUE TO ASK QUESTIONS AFTER THEY'RE MARRIED? If you are already married there are so many questions for married couples to ask each other. Getting to know your partner is the glue in a marriage. Couples with the most problems are often the ones that say, "I just don't understand him/her." So let me ask you: How knowledgeable are you about your mate's profession or the degree they’re pursuing? Do you know anything about his or her family heritage? Are you able to have a meaningful conversation about her hobbies or his interest? If you are a man, do you fully understand what women experience during PMS or menopause? If a couple’s knowledge is limited of each other’s interest simply ask questions on the subject. You don't need to be impossible to tell apart, but make an effort to learn about the things that interest your partner and you'll grow closer as a couple.

TIP# 5--WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD COUPLES ASK BEFORE MARRIAGE?
There are also many pre marriage questions for couples to ask. Does your partner want children? Do you both want careers? Do they have a history of spending their way into debt? Do they go to church? In my opinion, the biggest reason almost half of marriages end in divorce is because couples fail to ask questions BEFORE they get married. I guess people think they'll be able to change their spouses after marriage and everything will be better. Wrong. If a couple fails to sit down and discuss finances, religion, sex, housing, their future, and other topics in great detail, they will more than likely end up constantly arguing. In the end, if you both have completely different views, desires and goals in life, there’s no guarantee that chemistry or "I love you" will help you stay together. Couples should ask questions and make it their utmost priority to understand each other 'inside-out'. (BEFORE they take that walk down the aisle.)

Practice these key points and find out many more in the book 1000 Questions For Couples. They will ensure that you will grow a healthy, fulfilling relationship that will last a lifetime.
