Book Description

December 26, 2000
A relationship coach offers a step-by-step program for marrying your soul mate in one year or less.

Whether you're divorced or have never been married, if you're searching for long-lasting love, you're not alone: millions of people are on the lookout for their soul mate, and most of them are having trouble finding and keeping him or her. With The Marriage Plan, Dr. Aggie Jordan offers readers a tried-and-true program for finding and attracting the right man and building a healthy marriage, without sacrificing mutual respect, integrity, or your true self.

Aggie Jordan's no-nonsense approach to marriage will get you off the dating roller coaster and have you happily married in an open, committed, mutually satisfying relationship in under one year. Unlike some books that promote game playing and hard-to-get tactics, The Marriage Plan emphasizes honesty, commitment, and openness from the very beginning. Based on Jordan's principles of openness and self-awareness, The Marriage Plan's thirteen steps--such as setting a goal, drawing a profile of your ideal mate, and being open and direct--will help you get specific about what you want. Her easy-to-follow exercises and worksheets will help you clarify your dreams and needs. Beginning with tips for getting the word out, Jordan explains how to avoid wasting time on partners who aren't right for you and tackles issues including kids, chores, money, and sex, as well as communication and intimacy. Her sensible approach and clear direction will guide you every step of the way. It worked for her: Drawing on her years of work as a goal management trainer, she wrote the thirteen steps as a guide for herself when she was looking for love, and she met and married her soul mate in under one year. It worked for the six couples whose stories are included here, and it will work for you.

If you're fed up with playing games that get you nowhere, The Marriage Plan is for you. For guidance from the first date to the wedding date, The Marriage Plan is the perfect match for anyone who's looking for lasting love.


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A remarkable departure from the typical catch-a-husband guide, this 13-step plan for marriage-minded women is likely to lead not only to the altar, but also to strong and healthy marriages. As credentials, Jordan cites her expertise in teaching Fortune 500 companies how to set and reach clear-cut goals, 25 years of successful marriage to a man she met by following her own plan and the similarly successful experiences of couples from her "Marriage Plan" seminars. The plan is based on a rock-solid foundation: the reader must know herself and her core values, create a "profile" of her soul mate, and harbor and express the true desire and steadfast faith that he will show up and marry her within a year. While Jordan professes, "Focus and desire cause things to happen," she goes further to advise women to fearlessly let go of men who, though they may display many positive attributes, do not fit their individual soul-mate profiles. Once a relationship begins, Jordan recommends that women and their men be completely honest with each other, not play games, and build a deep, true friendship before moving into the realm of romance and sex. Jordan delivers positive, practical guidance and refreshingly rational encouragement on every page. Her map for the quest of a life partner will lead readers to a treasure chest. (Dec. 26)

5.0 out of 5 stars Even engaged and married couples can read this book, February 20, 2001

This review is from: The Marriage Plan: How to Marry Your Soul Mate in One Year -- or Less (Hardcover)
This book was profoundly interesting to me, not because it is guide to finding a soulmate (I am happily married) but because it is a description of what a healthy relationship ought to be. It raised many pertinent questions, and by mentally answering them I gained a clearer picture of where I am in my marriage, and where I would like to be. The book will even tell you how to get there. I gave a copy to a friend who is marrying her soulmate in less than a year. She said it helped to open up a dialogue between her and her fiance about issues they had never discussed or even thought of. Very readable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, August 5, 2002

pfaff quilter (Parma, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Marriage Plan: How to Marry Your Soul Mate in One Year -- or Less (Hardcover)
The book is short and to the point. In reading it, I realized that being honest and being able to communicate feelings up front will tell you alot about who you are dating. I personally think that marrying someone you know less than a year is not wise, but I do think that letting your potential mate know that you want to get married and you want to set a date is the way to go. It has given me the confidence to be bolder than I would tend to be.

By 
Melissa Lutz (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Marriage Plan: How to Marry Your Soul Mate in One Year -- or Less (Hardcover)
Finally a book about finding your soulmate that is straight-forward and intuitive. After reading this book, I felt confident in what I was looking for in a soulmate. Aggie's plan is real, it's common sense really...I was soon introduced to a terrific man that I fell in love with, and in a short time found that our goals were the same...to be married! And, I am happy to say that we are engaged! This book was a great source of encouragment, honesty, and self-confidence. Thank you!
