Getting Ready for Marriage: A Practical Road Map for Your Journey Together by Jim Burns & Doug Fields is their couples relationship self-help guide to Exactly What It Says In The Title, free courtesy of Christian publisher David C. Cook.
Apparently, there is an available-to-pre-order workbook to accompany this slated to be released, should you be interested, and hence the timely freebie offering of this one.
I had a quick peek inside this one, and it seems only lightly "inspirational", with the occasional faith mention, and is otherwise focused on the practical stuff like pre-marital counseling and getting along with the in-laws and budget planning and such, so potentially more secular types may be able to find this helpful as well.
Currently free, probably just for the next couple of days @
B&N (may also drop in the
UK),
Amazon (available to Canadians and in the
UK),
iTunes &
Google Play (both available to Canadians), and also
ChristianBook (DRM-Free ePub available to selected countries), and may also be free at other venues listed on the
publisher's catalogue page.
