Summary: Adorable
Comment: I purchased this product for my boyfriend's birthday, and it was exactly what I wanted. The
questions regarding your relationship make you think, without any chance of offending or being too
personal to write so others could possibly see. It's easy to read, and it's just a wonderful gift
to record a special relationship with!!!

The only thing I would change is more writing
space!

Summary: Loved it but needed two
Comment: I really do love this book, but there is honestly not enough room for two people to have space to
write. I bought the book thinking that there would be a space for me to write and a space for my
fiance to write. I wanted us to take turns, knowing that we'd each remember different details and
express things differently, but there is only one small page for each question and the lines are
spaced widely so you don't really get much room. I love to write, especially when the purpose is to
remember things and descibe them in enough detail that your words will make the events come back
years later. I am having trouble fitting everything I want into this book (and the paper is a bit
thin--you can see the ink through it sometimes). But I have liked the questions and organization of
the book so much that I am buying another for my fiance to fill in before our wedding. We will fill
them out separately and then give them to one another as wedding presents.

Summary: If you're buying this, you know what you're in for...
Comment: It'll be fun to look back at it in 40 years, but it's important to realize that you're being
confined to a set of specific questions/topics. They're widely varied, and not all of them may
apply to you.

Perhaps the most important thing to realize is that you're going to be
forc.. errr... strongly encouraged by your wife to define your relationship in 20-hand-written-line
increments, one page at a time.

It's hopelessly romantic, but all-in-all a fun thing to
look at later on.

Summary: old timers
Comment: Our grown children gave us this book on our 50th wedding anniversary. It seems they want to know the
secret to staying happily married for so many years! One thing we've always tried to do is remember
our blessings. Filling out this journal helped us express our appreciation of each other inspite of,
or maybe because of, the rocky times. If our 50 years teach our kids something about a lasting
marriage, that feels good too. Thanks, kids!

Summary: Great if you use it correctly
Comment: I bought this book as a birthday gift for my fiance. We have been together over 2 years and are
getting married in about 100 days.

I thought that this book would be very sweet if I filled out
everything up to the wedding/marriage part. However, I think that this book might be a bit hokey if
just bought and given to someone blank. However, if you're willing to start filling it out, it gives
your companion an interesting way to look at memories and will encourage him/her to fill it out
further.

I would not suggest getting this book if you are only dating or if you are newly dating:
it defines and confines your relationship too much. But this is a great book if you are a couple who
are not always together. My fiance lives in England, and we often enjoy sharing memories of our
courtship, our vacations, etc. This is a perfect way for your partner to hear your voice and cherish
memories when he/she is alone, or when you are unavailable.

A good gift for someone/a couple who
is romantic, nostalgic, and interested in a little project or creativity.
