A must read for all committed to the integrity of marriage and family. These reflections are borne out of multicultral experiences of direct involvement and counselling. Clearly pastoral and passionate. A significant contribution with sound principles and practical wisdom.

Sam George has addressed a heart felt need in the Asian community, where pre-marital counselling was non-existent until recently. Even now, culturally compatible resource materials are hard to find. Sam and Mary’s commitment to protect the ‘parivar’ (family) is reflected throughout the book.

There is a huge difference between a wedding and a marriage. The wedding is that initial expensive event and investment—marriage gets even more expensive for the rest of your life. Marriage consists of the more extravagant intangible expenses of life. Marriage will cost you who you are because one must be willing to deny one’s self in deference and honor of the other. That is why Before the Wedding Bells is so important.
Dr. Samuel Chand (USA)
Leadership Coach and Trainer

When it comes to marriage, it does “pay to prepare”! This premarital text takes faith and cultural values seriously to build a Christian home. This is a key resource for pastors, caregivers and counselors. But a must read for those planning to get married.
