The Book

Deciding to get engaged is one of the most important decisions a person will ever make.

70% of married spouses say, “If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn’t marry the same person. I would have married someone else.”

Once you start the journey towards marriage it’s difficult to turn back. Yet the majority of advice is about what happens after you get engaged, not before.

It’s for this reason that the book Before You Get Engaged was written.

Before You Get Engaged is a book that offers priceless advice and direction from a Christian perspective for daters who are considering popping (or answering) the big question. The book is divided into four sections:

Part 1: Are You Sure You’re Ready?
Part 2: Do You Make a Good Couple?
Part 3: What Do Others Think?
Part 4: Now What Should You Do?

Complete with fun and endearing proposal tips as well as ways to gently ask your significant other for more time, Before You Get Engaged will equip you with the insight, confidence, and peace to make one of the biggest decisions of your life.

In Before You Get Engaged authors Dr. David Gudgel, his son Brent, and Brent’s girlfriend Danielle interact in a discussion that not only reveals twelve relational indicators indispensable to a healthy, lasting marriage, but fleshes them out with dialogue and insight straight from Brent and Danielle’s journals. This book is designed to help daters know if engagement is truly the best next step in their relationship.
