Want to Marry a Good Man? Here's How! [Paperback]

Alisa Snell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2007

A Good Man . . . Single women often say they want one. Few believe they can find one. Those who don't have one usually insist that they do. And many more dismiss one without a thought. Sadly, single women often cycle through this condition over and over again. And they don't understand why. Being single can cause many to doubt their personal skills, attractiveness, ability to love and be loved, or possibility of ever becoming happily married. Everyone has a bad day. Everyone has fears and doubts. However, if you take charge, you will be successful in your search for a good man. Being successful in dating depends upon many factors: You must believe you can and will be successful. You must believe the kind of man or woman you are looking for will appreciate, value, and love you. You must have accurate information about the opposite sex, their needs, feelings, and motivations in relationships. You must play an active role in the process. In Want to Marry a Good Man, Alisa Goodwin Snell provides an exceptional guide for single women, offering advice on everything from flirting to the first date to engagement and marriage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Author Knows What She's Talking About, October 2, 2007

This review is from: Want to Marry a Good Man? Here's How! (Paperback)

Want to Marry A Good Man? Here's How! by Alisa Goodwin Snell is a complete guide to having the confidence to find a good man while being able to identify potentially abusive and how to know if a relationship is going anywhere within the first few weeks of dating someone.

Snell does an excellent job of identifying warning sings to watch for when you date someone and provides some good timelines to avoid rushing into a bad relationship. She also provides some excellent tips for flirting, acting confident when out on a date - even if you're feeling insecure - and making the man work for your love and the relationship instead of just giving it to him. Snell also provides great insight to the male mind and nails what men value in a relationship - something a lot of women don't seem to know or act on.

Part of the reason I liked this book so much was because I thought a lot about my relationship with my wife while I was reading it - especially the things that she did right that helped our relationship move forward. For example, we started dating, she knew the importance of making me work for her love and prove to her that I was willing to do what it took to make the relationship work.

Want to Marry A Good Man doesn't contain trite advice you'll find in most relationship books. Snell knows what she's talking about. As a guy I can tell you she knows what men like in women and how they think. Using this book as a guide can get women past the losers and jerks and on the right course to finding someone that will truly love them.

I highly recommend Want to Marry A Good Man to any woman who is looking for a good man to have a lasting, long term relationship that will eventually lead to a walk down the aisle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definately helped me feel confident and now I'm seeing the success!, October 12, 2007

This review is from: Want to Marry a Good Man? Here's How! (Paperback)

Before I read this book I felt frustrated, anxious, and angry about dating and men - but now I feel calm, confident, and so hopeful about dating. The right man will find me - I just have to do my part (which the book carefully reviews and coaches you on so that you can apply the knowledge to your personal experiences). I can't say enough good things about this book! It has changed my life and how I view dating and relationships for the better. I found practical advice that I could start using right away. I have told all my friends, and even strangers about this wonderful book! I hope that she writes a follow up book about marriage so that I can read it and feel as confident about marriage as I do now about dating!
