A must read for those thinking about getting married
I was considering marriage to my girlfriend, but was still unsure about the prospect of getting married. I read other books about picking the right partner, etc... but Blaine Smith's book was exactly what I was looking for. It helped me understand the myths in society about who's the right person. The book helped me to understand what is really important in picking a marriage partner. As I continued to read his book, I realized what I thought was important for a relationship was really not that important and that I was missing the important compatility issues. It helped me to clear my thinking in deciding what factors represent a healthy relationship. For example, having the romance in a relationship "That Spark" is nice, but it isn't the most important thing in sustaining a long-term relationship like marriage. I struggled with my moderate romantic feelings with my girlfriend, but came to understand that this is okay since I had deep feelings of compassion for her which is a far greater value in a relationship than sexual arousal. The book covers key compatibility factors to help you decide if the relationship you are in is prepared for marriage. Plus, it also talks about what to look for if you are single and what you can do to find that potential mate. I highly suggest this book to anyone.

Very good book for Christians
If you trust your life is in the hand of God, you must read this book. If you do not trust there is a God, you will not like this book. I like this book because I clearly know that there is a God and He has a perfect plan for my life. I think this is a must read for all single Christians.

Very close-minded
There was no mention in the summary that this book was written for only a select group of people. I attempted to read this book, but gave up by the second chapter after almost every page contained the word "god". Author fails to realize that not everyone believes in a god. If I ever choose to get married it will be because I believed it was right, not because a god did.
