'I can't say I am in any way religious. The only time I invoke the Lord's name is when the Guinness font runs out... But this morning I find myself impressed by the preachings of the Church of England's vicar at Chobham, Surrey. The Rev has devised a free marriage MOT for couples planning to tie the knot...It makes perfect sense' -- Bob Shields, The Daily Record (Scotland)

'He has extensive experience in marriage and family work. Despite (or most probably) because of his expertise, he avoids offering the right answers, only the right questions.' -- Interfaithmarriage.org.uk

'An excellent guide for couples wanting to build their married life on strong foundations.' -- Reg Bailey, Chief Executive, Mothers' Union

'If couples take time to discuss the myriad of down-to-earth topics raised in this easy-to-read book, they will have every chance of truly growing together.' -- Jane Collins, Relate Supervisor and Director of British Association of Sexual and Relationship Therapy

'A must-read for couples exploring or preparing for marriage - guaranteed to make them think!' -- Sue Burridge, Policy Adviser for Marriage and Family, Archbishops' Council of the Church of England
