Very enlightening book…every young person should be given this in elementary schools before dating…it really shows how we make our dating/sexual/martial decisions & offers actionable techniques to not fall into an abusive or toxic relationship.

TONS OF INFORMATION

8/10 — valuable takeaways, especially through the middle of the book. When we got to the end about sex, that’s when things got dated.

Some research presented correlated premarital sex with increased divorce rates, but the research centered around WOMEN not having sex. What about men having premarital sex? I believe this sends a message to women that if they have sex before marriage, they’ll get divorced! 👎🏼

I’m all for waiting to have sex, 3+ months in order for the mask to come off, but is the author advocating for no sex until marriage? Very dated IMO.

I really enjoyed th is book and want to utilize the information. I will most likely listen to the audio book 2 more times to reinforce. the narrator's voice sounded very mysterious and kept me interested the entire time.

Great book to read before dating

If this book doesn't stop you in your tracks for relationship awareness I don't know what will. This book will make you want to shatter your own mirror but when you can accept your reflection, it is so much more powerful! I've been able to honor myself more in my traits and short comings and also been more eye opening to my partner's traits and shortcomings. I am grateful to have been shared this book so I can reflect wholly on what I am embarking on.

A book to read when you get engaged

I have loved everything about this book! I’m taking action steps and doing everything it says as far as learning about my date. She is on board and studying the book as well. It has greatly enhanced the safety and security of our dating relationship. I recommend this book to what feels like hundreds of people by now, and will continue to do so. Now it’s time for round two of studying this book! Here we go.

I wish I would’ve had this book 20 years ago before I met my ex-husband. There are so many good things I’ve learned from this and will use in my current dating experiences. I also realized a few areas where I am lacking and need to improve on. I hope to use this information that I’ve learned and find someone amazing to be with. Everyone, especially singles should read this book. Now I need a physical copy to take notes in and reference. Thank you!

Wish I had this book 20 yrs ago!
