5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for singles in a dating relationship and before, June 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Finding the Love of Your Life: Ten Principles for Choosing the Right Marriage Partner (Paperback)

I read this book several times and reviewed it while in three different dating relationships, and sometimes wondered if the right person was out there for me. But, the book was a great help to me, in understanding why my relationships were not working out and in some that I had to end, and when the right one came along I knew it!! So many people say that opposites attract and that may be true at first, but the greatest thing I learned from this book was that every area that you are different from your partner will be a potential conflict, so finding a mate that has the most similarities is key to a happy marriage. I just celebrated my 4th anniversary, and I can say that we did not have the struggles many couples have in getting adjusted as newlyweds because of how much we have in common. Everything needs to be discussed before marriage to determine compatability and much prayer needs to be put into it as well, so you keep a level head, and don't base your relationship on feelings, but make sure you are at peace with God in choosing your mate! (Proverbs 16:9) I was 28 when I got married, and let me say it was worth the long wait, the many relationships, and the many times of reading this book and learning patience and learning to be content single first.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best pre-marriage book I have read, July 8, 2000

This review is from: Finding the Love of Your Life (Hardcover)

My wife and I used this book extensively while we were dating. She had found it years before and introduced me to it. The questions and exercises helped us to get beyond our puppy love and to evaluate the potential of our lives together. This book is essential for all who are dating, and I would say it could be useful for a lot of married people, too. We give it to our single friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goes beyond the infatuation phase, which is essential., November 4, 2003

By 

Barb "is this heaven?" (Cedar Falls, IA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Finding the Love of Your Life: Ten Principles for Choosing the Right Marriage Partner (Paperback)

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.
