This book offers a wealth of insight into human relationships, both romantic and platonic. What's particularly gripping about this book is its Biblical basis. The authors aren't offering their own versions of so-called expert studies, their source is the Bible. I have personally applied many of the principles talked about in this book and have experienced a transformation in my life. I don't think this book offers another "magical recipe" to win friends and influence people, it merely lays out a vivid description of how God intended humans to relate.

As a single Christian woman, I'm drawn to books that talk about how to prepare me for an eventual marriage. I've read MANY of these books, and this is one that I refer to (and recommend) time and time again. But be warned: It's not going to tell you how to find a man or woman, but instead, how to become first the kind of man and woman God is preparing you to be and how to love people as Jesus commands us to. A worthwhile investment.

In a world of superficial relationships, this book helps men & women alike with the practicals of how to go deeper. It's biblically-based under grace and biblically solid, but it's not just for Christians. Chapter 3 is worth the price of the book, describing the elements of casual-close-intimate relationships. This book is a super guide for successful dating & pre-marital counseling, but it's also terrific for helping men & women alike overcome the competing, comparing, and conditional relating that inhibits deep friendships. It's been a life-saver breakthrough for me -- I was the poster-child of an emotionally shut down husband.

This is one of those books that you have to buy multiple copies of because your own copy has so many notes you don't want to lose, and you just have to pass it's truths on to others. If you are focused on being 'pre-married', married or just wanting to be a better relater, you need to read this great manual and let it affect your style of relating. You won't be sorry and those around you will see a difference.

At the time I read this book, I was emotionally unraveling after a bad relationship. I was suffering from a really bad soul tie and I needed help. I was and still am a believer but was not applying everything at that time. Unfortunately, I got hurt. This book outlined detail for detail, scripture for scripture what I did wrong. It was entertaining and also edifying. It gave me the strength to not cave in even when that ex attempted to come back. The book was thin 147 pages, which was good because my attention span was short. I have since been soul-tie free and boy drama free for two years. I know I will be a whole and joy-filled woman when God gives me my husband. In the mean-time, I waiting without the desparate panic too many women are suffering from.

One of the greatest desire of lovers-to-be and lovers in action is the desire to find one's soul mate. This book shows you how to find that soul mate and if you are already with someone who is definitely not your soul mate then, this book will teach you how to bring God to make your mate your soul mate. It all starts with the person in the mirror. I truly enjoyed reading this book. It is my belief.

This book was all I hoped it would be. It showed me that God's love is a very powerful thing and should be used accordingly; not just in romantic relationships, but in ALL Christian Love relationships. Everyone should read this book.

This book is a MUST for anyone dating or getting married. Great book to read as a couple so you can start off your relationship God's way.

Very impressed overall. Hits all the major points effectively. Have recommended the book to others many times.
