Our goal is to help pastors in their ministry to engaged couples.  To that end, we have provided links below to downloadable pdf files of all the documents in the appendices of the book.

If you have purchased the book, you are entitled to keep one copy of each file on one computer.  You may then print as many copies of the documents as you need for your own personal work with couples.  Please do not distribute the files to others.

If you have neither purchased nor read the book, please respect the work we have done and do so before using any of the resources below.  The book explains how to use the resources, and further tips and suggestions will be posted from time to time on the “Tips and Ideas” page of this site.
