It has a super cheesy title, but my fiance and I are reading a book called Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts. It has a workbook for men and women (sold separately) that we're also working through together. It's actually been super fun! My fiance even said it's not eye gougingly painful like he thought it was going to be.

I have a book recommendation for you: Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts . It's fairly low key, easy to read in a casual way, and it covers lots of good bases. As a happily married person, I can confirm that if you're able to adopt some of the habits and ideas that this book covers, you will have a happier more successful marriage. Read it together and talk about it, see what comes up.

Having been in a relationship with a (so-called) Christian woman for 18 mos that in my gut felt 'forced' or 'wrong' - to a relationship with my now wife where we were so like-minded on things and it just came easy to be with her, I realized I probably wasn't listening enough to the Spirit and should have ended it long ago.

If you have to try too hard to make it work, then it's probably wrong. It should come easy and feel like hand in glove. And should be confirmed by family and trusted friends.

"I think she believes in God but does not have a relationship with him, and I don’t know that she’s too keen on trying to live by the Word." 2 years and you don't know where she is spiritually? That's enough to run for the hills - if you want a Godly spouse for life.

I'll leave you with a statement from the book "Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts" which I highly recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Saving-Your-Marriage-Before-Starts/dp/0310259827

"The most miserable people in the world aren't single. They are married people who realize they've made a grave mistake."

Congrats on your engagement! What a fun time it is :)

Videos are great, yes, but premarital counseling and reading (reading, reading) books where you can discuss together and write your thoughts/ideas/feelings together is hugely beneficial. I'd recommended Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts (https://www.amazon.com/Saving-Your-Marriage-Before-Starts/dp/0310259827), How We Love (https://www.amazon.com/How-We-Love-Discover-Marriage/dp/1400072999, and Intended For Pleasure (https://www.amazon.com/Intended-Pleasure-Technique-Fulfillment-Christian/dp/0800719379). There are so many more!

Not really a study, but this is an excellent pre-marital book to work through.
