Where We Take Root: Ten Sessions to Build a Strong Foundation for Marriage Premarital Couples Counseling (Black & White)

A beautiful wedding may mark the beginning, but a strong relationship is built through the choices a couple makes long after the celebration ends.

Where We Take Root: Ten Steps to Preparing for a Stronger Relationship is a practical and thoughtful guide for couples who want to build a healthy, lasting foundation together. Through ten structured steps, couples are encouraged to explore the conversations that matter most—including communication, expectations, trust, conflict, finances, intimacy, family relationships, shared values, personal growth, and future goals.

Written by licensed professional counselor Sheila Wells Flynn, this book combines clinical insight with relatable guidance and meaningful reflection. Each section helps couples better understand themselves and one another, recognize potential areas of concern, strengthen emotional connection, and make intentional decisions about the relationship they want to create.

Where We Take Root can be used independently by dating, engaged, newly married, or long-term couples. It also serves as a valuable resource for therapists, counselors, clergy members, marriage mentors, and other professionals guiding couples through premarital preparation or relationship enrichment.

This black-and-white edition provides the same practical exercises, guided discussions, and opportunities for reflection in an affordable, easy-to-use format.

Strong relationships do not simply happen—they are planted, nurtured, and strengthened over time. Begin the conversations today that can help your relationship take root and continue growing for years to come.
