I liked its practical application of behind-the-scenes knowledge of clinical psychology. You can tell they know their stuff and have helped many people.

A must read! I just finished reading it and I am ready to read it again. This book not only showed me all I've been doing wrong, but why. I recommended to any singles out there still wondering when it is going to be their turn at happiness. This is a wonderful book, full of answers and God giving guidance. READ IT TODAY!!

I purchased the book to send my nieces and nephew (13-29) but wanted to read it first to see what was in it. I thought the book was very good. I would have liked to see more emphasis put on the long term psychological and emotional impact early physical relationships have on people. I don't think people quite understand or believe the long term negative effects on future relationships and in a marriage.

I wish I would've had this available when I was dating. I think it is very relevant whenever you might be dating in life!

This book was an awesome, eye opening read! My mom found it for me while we were at a used bookstore and I almost didn't get it, but then I felt a nudge to anyways, and now I'm so glad I did! After I read the entire book, I couldn't help but wish my wayward older sister could have had the chance to read it before she went off and made like practically half the mistakes and don'ts that the book talks about. Thanks to the book and my sister, I now have way more insight when it comes to the dating scene. I highly recommend this book for mature young adults and older ones as well. It really is, in my humble opinion, an absolute good read!! It really has a lot of advice and such to apply to your own life.

This is a WONDERFUL book written by two Christian psychologists who are inspired by God. For eight months, I let this book sit unread on my desk while I struggled through awful dating experiences and tremendous heartache. When I finally wised up and began to read this great book, I wished a hundred times over that I'd just read it when I had recieved it!!! It will truly reveal why you've made so many mistakes in your past relationships, and give you Biblical guidance on how NOT to repeat those mistakes again. And to Pamella (who had the audacity to rate this a 1 out of 5 entirely based on the excerpt): a book can NEVER be judged before it is read!! In the same respect, could someone rate the Bible's message of love if they'd only read a chapter in Deutoronomy?? You are missing out on one of the truly necessary Christian books to own and pass on!!

This book was awesome! I am 21, and wish I could have read it when I was 15 or 16! It has taught me so much. It's not "do's and don'ts" but rather it has taught me to look inside and see things and search things and realize what I need to do in my dating relationships! Awesome book!!!!

This is by far the best book on how to create Christian relationships in our modern culture. It lines out mature ways to deal with other people's ideas and our call to purity. It teaches the reader tactful ways to communicate to our dates our values and principles. It is sometimes very hard to live up to those principles but that's where character comes in. It strengthens the reader with knowledge and confidence.
