Marriage is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. The right questions can help you make it with wisdom.
50 Questions Every Christian Should Ask Before Marriage is a practical, biblically grounded guide for Christians who are dating seriously, courting, engaged, or preparing for marriage. Rather than focusing only on chemistry, attraction, or wedding plans, this book helps couples examine the deeper issues that determine whether a marriage has the foundation to endure.
Through fifty carefully developed questions, Dameyan Cole guides readers through the conversations many couples avoid until after the wedding. You will explore spiritual compatibility, character, communication, conflict, trust, family history, emotional health, finances, careers, children, intimacy, boundaries, in-laws, faithfulness, warning signs, and the difficult final question: Should we actually marry?
Inside, you will discover how to:
Examine your own motives and readiness for lifelong covenant
Determine whether you share a genuine spiritual foundation
Look beyond chemistry and evaluate character over time
Discuss past wounds, family influences, addictions, and unresolved issues honestly
Build trust through healthy communication and conflict resolution
Clarify expectations about marital roles, purpose, work, and everyday responsibilities
Talk openly about debt, spending, saving, giving, and financial decisions
Navigate questions about children, parenting, infertility, adoption, and extended family
Develop a biblical understanding of intimacy, purity, health, and faithfulness
Recognize manipulation, controlling behavior, abuse, deception, and other serious red flags
Use wise counsel and premarital counseling effectively
Decide whether to move forward, slow down, postpone the wedding, or walk away
Each question combines thoughtful biblical teaching with realistic application, three questions for honest reflection, and a focused prayer for wisdom. Scripture is treated carefully and in context, while areas where faithful Christians may disagree are approached with humility and fairness.
This is not a book designed to make couples afraid of marriage. It is designed to help them enter marriage with their eyes open, their hearts honest, and their commitment rooted in Christ.
A beautiful wedding lasts a day.
A wise decision about marriage can shape a lifetime.
