Book Description

May 11, 2010
Think your twenties are just a waiting period--waiting to get married, waiting for real life to begin? Wrong! As Shannon Fox and Celeste Liversidge show with humor, intelligence, and reassurance, getting a ring on your finger is the last thing you should be thinking about when you're in your twenties. In fact, statistics show that if you wait and marry at thirty, your chances of having a healthy, long-lasting relationship more than double. So before rushing off to become someone else's better half, take the time to become the best, strongest whole person you can be! Last One Down the Aisle Wins will show you how to:

  • develop and improve your emotional health, body image, and confidence
  • take risks and tap into your adventurous side
  • create a dependable network of friends and mentor relationships
  • identify and avoid the top ten reasons women marry too young

    Last One Down the Aisle Wins is like having your very own life coach, therapist, financial planner, spiritual adviser, career counselor, and cheerleader all rolled into one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars every daughter should read it! September 20, 2010
    Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
    I bought this for my 15 year old daughter and promised her a $250 shopping card if she'd read it over the summer and give me a good review on it. I told her I would be asking her questions and she had to give me both a written and oral review to get the cash.

    I was married at 25, she was born by 27. Despite avoiding being married earlier...now in my early 40's...I wish I had waited until 30, or even 35. I certainly knew I was different at 25 than 18. I'd been in the US Army, lived abroad, traveled the US some, and got thru college. Well, ok, I finished last semister married to her mother.

    My wife and I talk about it a lot - we are better prepared now than we were then. We don't want to start over now, but both wish we had waited, done more either alone or together. Our daughter was born 2 years into our marriage and our life pretty much stopped there. Well, at least the grand trips, the big life-risks, the dreams took second place to the necessary realities of being young and having a small family.

    We love our kids, but as each generation wants their kids to have it better - we are SO THANKFUL that this book came to be. It communicates so well that you have basically one time to be young and to really make sure you consider your whole life before rushing down the aisle.

    Our daughter ended up asking us tons of questions - some weren't easy to answer - and we discussed some parts of this book for months. It's still a topic of conversation a times. The gift card is a minor investment, the book's message she absorbed is priceless. What she does in her life is up to her...but at least she has been presented some reasons for enjoying her young and single days.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Get it, Girlfriend!!! May 17, 2010
    Format:Paperback
    This book is in competition with my laptop for "Most Important Possessions." I'm no longer waiting around wondering if each guy is "Mr. Right." I'm living- and Loving- my own life. This has been a revolutionary concept change. I love the exercises and questionnaires, and it addresses everything from wardrobe to finances to sex!! I especially liked the chapter about tapping into your adventurous side. This book helped me realize my own beliefs and feelings about things and realize that I'm not just waiting to get somewhere-I am Here...and I can grab the bull by the horns. Now when "Mr. Right" does come he'll accent and enhance my life- he won't BE my life. The authors have a witty yet insightful approach to some very real issues. I couldn't put the book down. I bought one for my sister and my roommate ('cause I'm not sharing mine!!) -Jenn

    Format:Paperback
    Let's imagine that all of us, including our mothers, aunties, cousins, sisters and friends, had read this book when WE were younger! What would our lives look like?
    Now think about the power we have to share such innovative and compelling wisdom with our daughters, nieces, and friends. Get this book into
    the hands of every young woman you know! It is a step by step guide to living your best life right here, right now. I highly recommend it!

    2.0 out of 5 stars treading on dangerous grounds.....
    The whole premise of this book is dangerously wrong. It is another misleading feminist-based book, which, like similar books in the past, may cause more harm than good. Read more

    This is a very useful book that I would recommend to any single woman. However, the only quibble I have is with the authors' insistence that women should not marry until after 30. Read more

    Why Wait to Get Married?
    My husband and I married young. We spent our entire 20's worrying about money and family issues. Never had the chance to form friendships, or travel or finding ourselves, we were too busy trying to adjust to each other. 30 years later, we have both wished we had waited until at least after 25,... Read more
