What Conversations to Have with Your Future Spouse
A Q&A with the men who wrote the book on communicating in relationships.
Los Angeles, CA - November 27th, 2018 - Charly Ligety and Les Starck met while they were both working at a bank. Les was a newlywed and Charly had just proposed to his girlfriend (now wife), so they bonded over being in similar stages in their relationships. Knowing how wedding planning can take over everything, they decided to create a guidebook to help couples connect and communicate over the aspects that will affect their marriage – rather than just the big day. They wrote the Very Engaging Couples Guidebook, and we sat down with the two friends to get their thoughts on the new book, as well as relationships.

That’s why, when one of my BEST friends, in Hollywood, gifted Rick and I with HIS/HERS workbooks, “Very Engaging”, by Charly and Les, I was THRILLED!
