Summary: FINALLY a book on dating
Review: What a great book. I minister to college students. Right now, I am taking my students through a study based on this book. The first week I had a spring-breaker accidentally show up not knowing the theme of what we were doing. She has commited to drive 45 minutes every week to come to this study. This material has been convicting, and I've never had so much fun on the discussion of dating. It's making a difference in my students' perspective on dating. And I cannot stress enough, IT IS ABSOLUTELY FUN.

Summary: Generally good with an unfortunate flaw
Review: Worthwhile; generally good common sense but, with so many forces trying to eradicate that, a refresher is always good.The book, unfortunately, promotes the widely believed myth that 50% of all marriages end in divorce. Untrue. The statistic came out of a feminist group a few years ago. They divided the total number of marriages in a year by the total number of divorces: 50%. However, the divorces were cumulative. So the marriages (for that single year) were divided by divorces due to marriages FOR ALL PREVIOUS YEARS. So everyone married in say 1994 was compared to all the divorced marriages from say 1940 to 1994. Good example of how to lie with statistics. When you compare apples and apples (say the total number married in 1960 compared to how many of the SAME PEOPLE were divorced by 1994, you get something like 6%) But some like the inflated false number better. They want to redefine what is normal (divorce can't be abnormal if more than half do it!) thus make it the easy path to take. Everyone repeats the 50% number, it's false, and a shame this book fell for it too.

Summary: Highest marks for 10 Commandments
Review: You will not find a more engaging and more meaningful guide to how to build a rewarding relationship. While some of the concepts call for difficult commitments and discipline, the reward is more than worth it. Just like exercise, it pays off. Dont just buy this book. Buy 10 and give them to friends.
