Rev. Angela is on her book tour and we took some time to ask her some questions about her new book: Before You Tie the Knot!  Take a look!  I think premarital counseling is incredibly important – no matter how happy and excited you are!  This book can really be a great tool to help all couples save their marriages before they start!

There are several chapters, which two are your favorite?
Housekeeping & Red Flags.  Most people assume that the woman will do the chores, but what works best for your household?  Red flags, because if you “feel” that your relationship is abusive, it just might be. Know the signs, so you can make the proper decisions.

Is this book just for Christians?
No. Because I marry people of various cultures and faiths, I felt that my book should all inclusive.  If you are a religious person, your answers may reflect your beliefs, but the book is not necessarily written from that point of view.

Why should someone purchase this book?
For several reasons, but the main two are information and time.  Premarital counseling gives you information, but it takes time.  This book is a way to give you both.
The more you know and understand about your partner, the better your decisions are regarding them. Time. People are so busy in today’s society. We are multi-tasking more and more trying to accomplish everything on our to do list, then wedding planning is added.
With a copy of Before You Tie The Knot, you are able to go through the book when the time is best for you.  One chapter a day, or the entire book in hours – you are left in control.

Why do people need premarital counseling?
We study for our careers, we talk about politics and sports, yet many do not communicate about their needs, expectations or desires in their relationship.
Premarital counseling can help you not need marriage counseling. With premarital counseling, you  get people to talk about what they want and need and how they see the world of marriage itself.   We touch on all topics in Before You Tie The Knot, so that you can feel you truly know your fiancee before you walk down the aisle.

Counseling gets a bad rap – read this book and I think you will take a second look at pre-marital counseling!

Happy Reading!
