Every engaged couple should read this book. ( many married couples would benefit too)

There are those things you know, the things you think you know, the things you should know, and also the things that you find out that you wish you had known earlier. Scott Kedersha’s book Ready or Knot: 12 Conversations Every Couple Needs to Have before Marriage (Baker Books, 2019) is full of those things you wish you would have known. 

After almost 30 years of marriage, I was surprised over and over at some of the things I was reading. They were those AHA moments, when something that should have been so obvious suddenly appears before our eyes.

Kedersha addresses topics like kids, money, and sex---the biggies that most couples think about, but there are also discussions about the point of marriage, communication, emotional intimacy, and several other topics that are good to discuss ahead of time rather than wait to be blindsided when things don’t go as planned.

There’s a difference between ‘book learning’ and ‘street smarts’, and this author seems to have just the right mix of the two.

I wish someone had given us this book when we were engaged, or even shortly after the wedding (before we had time to learn bad habits.0

I received a copy of this book as a participant in a bloggers’ program. I was not required to write a positive review.
