Just to be clear about the values promoted in this book, lest anyone get fooled into thinking this is a Christian book. First, the author conforms to popular secular norms in terms of sexual morality. Not only is premarital sex okay in this book, but moving in is also alright if the guy is "committed" to you. I would like to remind everyone that fornication and cohabitation without marriage are intrinsically immoral. The author is confused, and if you choose to follow the advice in this book, you will be following a confused woman. I say, live a moral life, don't sweat the small stuff the guy does to annoy you, but expect a strong character from a man (but not perfection), and treat the dude with kindness. Husband is #2 and God is #1, and keep this in mind when you're looking for the person to share your life with. If the guy's wrong, don't despair. Pray to become the woman the Lord wants you to be for the man he wants for you. That's just my opinion.

the advice in doyle's book is practical and it makes sense. normally i've found that the "practices" suggested in dating books to be pretty absurd or unreasonable. that is not the case with this book. get it, it's probably the only advice you'll need as a single woman.

I've always considered myself an intelligent, sensitive, and practical woman, with many talents and abilities. I have had several successful and even glamourous jobs in the arts and in publishing. In contrast to my professional accomplishments, my relationships with men have been unmitigated disasters. Absolutely clueless about men and what they need, I ruined my relationships with fear, self-pity, mistrust, and the need to prove my independence and personal excellence. I also tried to control men by demanding proofs of affection, and often men would end up doing exactly what I feared most: leaving me or cheating on me. I am now much wiser for having read this book. By applying this book's principles, for the first time I have an adoring, appreciative, and affectionate man. He seems to delight in taking care of me and making me happy. I'm thrilled that Doyle's practical concept of conscious serenity has worked so well, and I sincerely recommend this book to all women who want to win a good husband.
