Does this sound too much like going to school? No need to go to the library for this  research though. One of the best ways to learn is to look to role models, and even bad examples can teach us.

• Each of you think of someone you know who has a successful marriage…not just long, but what you consider a good marriage. Each of you go separately & talk to the husband or wife and ask them about their marriage (asking will compliment them). Come back together and compare notes. What did you learn about marriage from your research?

• Each of you describe a person or persons whom you consider to be a exceptional father or mother, or husband or wife. Of course, explain your choices…what makes them great in your estimation?

• Describe a really bad marriage that you are aware of. What makes it bad? Where did it go wrong? How will yours be different

Note: Many churches are now using mentoring programs to help engaged couples prepare for marriage. Basically, they pair you up with a couple who has a healthy marriage and you spend time with them learning from them and asking them questions. If you are interested, check with your church to see if they have such a program or can get you contact with one that does.
