When we are contemplating marriage, these may well be some of the questions we are asking ourselves. Such questions must be faced honestly. In this short booklet, Nicky and Sila Lee list seven tests of love which are designed to reveal whether couples have the foundations upon which to build a strong marriage. These tests help show couples not only if they are right for each other, but also if they are ready for marriage. The material in this booklet is taken from The Marriage Book by Nicky and Sila Lee, which gives a fuller insight into preparing for and building a healthy marriage.
