Church book 'offers marriage MoT'
Figures on wedding cake, BBC
The book aims to help the couple answer big questions
A relationship check-up is being offered to couples by the Church of England, to make sure they are a suitable match before they get married.

The Reverend Andrew Body, a vicar in Chobham, Surrey, has written "Growing Together", which is being launched in Manchester next weekend.

He said the book helps couples answer questions before their big day.

"Relationships need check-ups just like cars do. What better time to have a marriage MoT," he said.

He said: "This book is aimed at everyone preparing for their wedding day.

"It recognises that many couples live together before taking their vows."

The book identifies key areas couple need to tackle to make sure their marriage lasts, including children, money, commitment, sex, conflict, faith and families.

Copies will be available to couples at the UK Wedding Show being held at the GMex centre in Manchester next weekend.
