Before You Live Together - by David Gudgel (Paperback)

About the Book

Candid, caring, and thoughtful, this book helps couples determine if living together is really the right direction for their relationship to take--or if there may be a better way.

Book Synopsis

Will living together bring you closer or drive you apart? You are about to make a decision that will take your life in a totally new direction, one that will have a lasting impact on you and someone you love. If you are wrestling with that decision, now is the time to stop and set your emotions gently aside and take time to sort through your own feelings, as well as other people's opinions about what is best for you. Candid, caring, and thoughtful, Before You Live Together is uses true stories to illustrate different living-together situations and their outcomes. It also addresses the basic questions and issues you may have asked yourself, including:

Is this the best way to find out if we are compatible?
Why do we need a piece of paper to tell us we are committed to each other?
Is it so much cheaper than paying two rents?

While this book presents biblical values in a compelling and loving way, it never lectures, but instead seeks to help you decide what is best for both of you. Read it for yourself. Read it with the one you love. Read it to make the right decision at the time when it matters most.
