There is a main question on the front side and extended questions on the back of each card. The book explains why each question should not be neglected before giving your heart away. If you want to know if the person you are dating is the "right" person for you, buy the deck, sort your responses, and see how your relationship stacks up to your values and desires.

The therapist guides the client to sort the cards into three piles; a) what works, b) what doesn’t work, and c) what might work, for managing distress. The strategies are discussed as they are sorted for maximum exploration of options. The therapist marks the client’s responses on a take-home handout, offering the client a ready list of self chosen activities for distress management. The set comes with 136 activity cards, additional blank cards, instruction sheet, and a reproducible handout for clients.

The Distortion Builders identify the common distorted thoughts that create emotional disturbance. Each distortion is identified on a separate card so clients can lay out the cards in order of their frequency or intensity of use. The Distortion Busters offer counterparts to the distortion used to bust the distortions apart. The cards provide an engaging and playful means for exploring an often dry topic of therapy. The set comes with 27 Builder and Buster cards and an instruction sheet.

In addition to direct uses for the cards the Activity Book explores the stages of relationship development and the skills needed to choose and keep a healthy partnership.

The Activity Book offers 30 possible activities to help others learn more about themselves and their potential partners before entering intimate relationship. Whether you are leading a group for youth, singles, divorcees, or parents, this kit will give you everything you need. Participants will examine the vast range of behaviors and attitudes that are encountered when dating. They will be given opportunities to assess the traits they desire in others and examine their own capacity for creating a loving and sustainable relationship.
