“We love it! 99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before Saying... "I Do" is undoubtedly the book that every woman should read before considering marriage—and even before entering into a serious relationship with a man. With the help of the women she interviewed, Laurie has covered in this book every conceivable topic that separates couples and leads to marital dissatisfaction, unhappiness and divorce. We highly recommend this practical, down-to-earth book and will suggest it as a ‘must-read’ for any single woman looking for a committed relationship.”

“If my clients had read Dr. Weiss’ informative and resource packed book before they married, I might be looking for a new line of work! Even if you think you know all about marriage and relationships, you are sure to learn something interesting and invaluable from Dr. Weiss’ wise and intimate work. Easily accessible, the material is chock-full of useful and often surprising information. Take advantage of Dr. Weiss’ 50 plus years of marriage and over 40 years as a relationship therapist and marriage counselor. You will not be disappointed. A thoroughly engaging read.”

Katy Kurtz,

“The words of wisdom ingrained in the wonderfully concise book by Dr Laurie Weiss are amazing. Somehow, Dr Weiss has been able to neatly package, without a lot of peripheral discussion, the most significant challenges I have personally experienced and have watched my friends experience as they live their married life. As someone who has been married and divorced, then married and widowed, I can truly vouch for what Dr. Weiss presents here. No matter how much in love you are or how disgusted you are in your current relationship, I highly recommend you read this wonderful book. 99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before Saying... "I Do" is a must read for all women, whether married or thinking of marriage ... it just may save you and your relationship.”

99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before Saying... "I Do" by Dr. Laurie Weiss is the new manifesto for women. Whether they say ‘I do’ or ‘I don’t,’ it’s got all the ingredients for a woman to be smart, sassy, and successful. From demystifying the beliefs and myths of coupledom that detour so many; to handling money; and a myriad of unexpected hiccups, this book is a gem. The resources are excellent. It should be required reading for anyone single ... and it wouldn’t hurt those who are married as well!”

Judith Briles
Author, Money Smarts for Turbulent Times

“Laurie expresses a wealth of information to women in all stages of relationship-life that can help them answer the question: Why does some-thing that feels so good (a love relationship) become something that feels so bad? Backed by years of personal and professional experience with personal stories, her message is succinct and clear—on a psychological level everything has an explanation.”

Dr. Brenda Schaeffer
Author, Is It Love or Is It Addiction?

“This book is an excellent resource for any woman, in a relationship or not. But, it is especially important information for a woman contemplating marriage. Weiss really gets at the core of what women need to consider before making that ultimate commitment.”

Kim Olver
Author, Secrets of Happy Couples

“In a world flooded with self-help texts, this book presents a well organized, thoughtful, and realistic ‘guidebook’ for a successful marriage. Moreover, sharing the ‘secrets’ of real women makes it particularly enticing (delicious?). I wish I’d had a book like this years ago.”

Pam Gordon,
College Professor

“Where do women most likely learn about all the ins-and-outs of how to build a healthy relationship anyway? Certainly not in the seventh grade locker room or in health class. No one told us THE most important things to understand, relationship-wise and as such we presume that Prince Charming will love, honor, and cherish us till death do us part. WRONG! Relationships take work, understanding, and pro-active behaviors to make them stay healthy and satisfying. Helping women recognize that the fairy tale is not the truth, Laurie Weiss gives women the tools for making the right choices in a mate and whether or not marriage necessarily should be the end-all in every relationship. Unless you’re a nun, every woman NEEDS THIS BOOK!”
