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.

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.

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!

I was disappointed in the book. It does contain good information on setting your goal of marriage and developing the profile of the man you want to be with, but these topics have been covered as well in magazine articles and other books I've seen.

There was a lot of concentration on a few couples' experiences and I found the men from those couples to be atypical to those I date (more new-agey than men I know or would want to know). I also was taken aback by the author seeming to go out of her way to mention that her subject couples "married within their race". I think if I'd browsed this book in a store I'd have left it there.

After reading this book of Dr.Jordan, I have ordered a few for friends who have repeatedly made mistakes in their relationships that have made them unsuccessful in finding their Soulmate. Hopefully this book will give them the tools to revaluate their past mistakes and set new goals for the future. It is well written and clearly takes the reader through the process.

this book is very useful.
at begin, it help us to get clear about what is soul mate. and it gives a very good information on set goals to find soul mate.
it also let us know what is health relationship. guide us to build health love relationship. this book is a good guide for everyone who sincerely want to marry soul mate or find long lasting relationship.

I am a guy who wants to get married, so I saw this book, and I bought it. Makes sense, right? I got it, and I started reading, and right away, I noticed the gender slant in the book-the use of pronouns indicating he, him, etc. made it clear that the author had intended women to read this book. But I kept reading, figuring, "There's got to be some stuff I can use, too." And thankfully, there was. :-)

This book helped me get clear on what it was I wanted, and actually helped me codify it, so now I know what to look for, and now I know what I bring to the table. Even though I just finished the book and my year just started, I have a focus that I never had before.

Now, there are some parts that didn't necessarily apply to my situation. For example, she devotes a whole chapter on explaining what issues men have with intimacy, clearly written for a woman to understand what her partner is going through, which I don't need to know about since I'm not marrying a man. But everything else was still relevant to a man looking to marry a woman, and I can't really fault her for writing to a female audience. I have yet to see a book on "How to get into a relationship and get married" that wasn't directed at women(if you know of one, feel free to email me and let me know. ;-) ) There's also a chapter justifying the psychological reasons for abstinence, which if you're a devout Christian like myself, you may find yourself going, "Yeah, I don't need to hear about that-I'm already with you."

In spite of the gender bias, this book is invaluable to anyone who wants to get married. Will it be surpassed someday by a better guide? Quite possibly, and given enough time, quite probably. But for now, this is the best thing I've seen. Does it work? I'll let you know in a year. ;-)

My mother bought me this book last year and I'm getting married this summer...haha...not sure if it had to do with the book or not :)
