Review: 66% of all marriages in the US end in divorce or separation. Half of those occur in the first 2 years! Research shows that if people followed the advice in this book, the divorce rate would be increadibly lower. If you want to have a happy marraige, then read this WHILE you're single. It will change your life.

Summary: Too much of a HUMAN emphasis on "finding the love of your.."
Review: After reading Elisabeth Elliot's "Passion and Purity", "Quest For Love", Joshua Harris's "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" and Don Raunikar's "Choosing God's Best"...this book sadly fails! It lacks true inspiration from the Holy Spirit, does not have the "annointing" the other books above do. I came away reading this book with "this is man's way of doing the relationship thing, not God's way". It emphasized taking it into your own hands rather than relying on God to reveal His choice. It just perpetuates the "dating merry-go-round" many singles are on trying to find the right one, find the one who is "compatible".

Summary: guidance for selecting a mate
Review: Excellent advise on how to think about dating and selecting a mate for life. Easy to read and remember because of the presentation. Solid, psychologically-sound advise on the essentials of what makes marriage work. My husband and I found it very helpful when we were making the decision whether or not to get married and establishing the foundation for a long, healthy marriage.

Summary: Dr. Warren's book helped me in choosing a great wife.
Review: Finding the Love of your Life is filling with many good ideas. My wife and I read this book while we were still dating, and it helped us deal with issues that might have become conflicts in our marriage. Dr. Warren's years of experience gives him insight that would take the average person years of hard lessons to obtain. This book helped us to deal with issues such as communication, arguments, money, and sex before they became a problem. Is my marriage perfect? No , but we are very happy and because we dealt with many issues before marriage the transition from single to married has not been hard. Furthermore, Dr. Warren point out the relationships need to be thought out, and the love is more than just a feeling. This book will help others to evaluate their relationships and determine whether they should continue with them or not. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: No easy answers here
Review: Finding your life's partner seems to be about as difficult as finding a kidney donor: so many things have to match up. As a lifelong single (but one who doesn't want to stay that way forever) this book can be a little discouraging. How do you ever find someone who meets all the compatibility criteria? How can I even measure up to someone else's ideal? Of course, the premise is that it's better to be alone than in a bad marriage. This type of book is hard to rate because the bottom line is: Does it work? And I don't know the answer to that question. The principles do seem to be sound, and the author claims to have an outstanding success rate. I bought this book because I heard the author on a "Focus on the Family" radio broadcast and visited his website, where he runs sort of a "matchmaking service", although not in the traditional sense. Because the author is well-established and has a good reputation, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and a three-star rating.

Summary: Useful and realistic
Review: Hmmmmm - a useful book. Had been going out for a while - started going out with the principle that it would lead to marriage. Found this book useful as a way of getting to know each other, particularly the list of 60 questions. There were no (bad) surprises to either of us when we got married. To answer the previous reviewer, one does not have to exclusively rely on a book. Much prayer went into both our decisions before this book ever came to our attention.

Summary: Another dopey book for women
Review: I am happily married for three years and when I was single this book helped me immensely . I realized early on who wasn't compatible with me as a lifelong partner. A lot of people make the mistake of not getting past the infatuation stage. Warren's book makes a strong point that certain areas (Money issues...children...etc) should be the same for both partners in the relationship. This book also points out when to know if somebody is worth pursuing..in general and specifically for you. There's somebody for everyone. He also points out where you, the reader, need to be emotionally to become somebody else's potential partner. Great book indeed.

A lot of people make the mistake of not getting past the infatuation stage. Warren's book makes a strong point that certain areas (Money issues...children...etc) should be the same for both partners in the relationship. This book also points out when to know if somebody is worth persuing..in general and specifically for you the reader. For as they say, there's somebody for everyone. He also points out where you, the reader, need to be emotionally to become somebody else's potential partner. Good book indeed.

Summary: a terrific book, and important for me
Review: I felt that this book gave me direction and insight about finding a mate in the times when I needed it most. It helped me to realize that one person was not meant for me, and two years later, that another one was. I buy the book now for friends who struggle with these decisions. An excellent book, and well worth your time.

Summary: Don't miss the best part of the book!
Review: I found this book very helpful when my 'then-boyfriend' and I were first considering engagement. A lot of the concepts you've probably heard before, so feel free to skim the chapter material. However, the part of this book that was most valuable to us was the list of 50 (or was it 100?) helpful similarities/topics to discuss with your soon-to-be-spouse. We spent hours and hours going through the bullet points. A lot of things came up that we would not have even thought to discuss, and we learned alot about each other. So buy the book, skim the chapters, and tarry on the list. HE even enjoyed it!
