Using a serious yet light-hearted approach, Coleman helps dating or engaged couples as they prepare for a future together. The book is refreshing in its approach to gender roles. A chapter on the topic offers guidance toward finding a mate that believes in the equality of the sexes — and addresses equality in ministry as well. Before the Ring helps couples build the base for an ideal marriage, assists them in getting to know each other, offers questions worth asking and serves as an excellent resource for marriage counselors.
