The Ten Commandments of Dating: Time-Tested Laws for Building Successful Relationships

As a Christian parent I want my two teens to enjoy healthy, happy but sex-free relationships. I read the book first and think it provides a sound Biblical basis for healthy dating and puts teen relationships in perspective. My 15 year old son is actually reading it now but has not given me any firm feedback.

I bought this book for my daughter,14yo; ofcourse I must read it first. This book is easy to read, practical and Biblical. If only I had this resourse when I was going through the dating phase. So much heart ache could have been avoided for me and others... and God would not be misrepresented through my poor choices.

The Bible doesn't specifically say much about how to "date" in the modern sense but it does give boundaries and guidelines for how to select someone and how to build a relationship that, once blessed, will last.This book is great. Commandments like... "Thou Shalt Get a Life" and "Thou Shalt Not Play House" really emphasize how God's intention for a relationship to begin is totally opposite of what the secular community believes is ok. Getting a life, developing your own character before marriage and not co-habitating before the wedding day are really examples of how God's plan for marriage takes time to build and the "world's" way is rushed and focuses on instant gratification. This book will challenge you to examine your own dating relationships and how you can improve them by going God's way and not the self directed path which almost always fizzles out. Pick it up!!

I selected this book to read after recently getting a divorce and found myself back into the dating world after 15 years. As I read the book I saw all the mistakes I made in selecting my first husband and I am determined to do things right the second time around!

Forget all those books that tell you that men and women are from different planets...this is a book for couples on planet Earth who want to have a long-lasting, meaningful relationship. I was completely engrossed by it from the very first page and learned so much from it. This book gives clear, common-sense reasons why so many relationships don't work, and simple, straightforward guidelines for improving your relationships and finding the right one. It also focuses on what to do when you are single (Thou Shalt Get a Life) to make yourself more attractive to others. Some of the guidelines in this book seem a little radical and "politically incorrect", but when you think about them they really make sense. The book is very straightforward and to-the-point with a healthy dose of humor mixed in. Don't "kiss dating goodbye"! Read this book and go about dating the right way! Whether you are a Christian or not I would highly recommend this book to anybody; it should be required reading for anyone who wishes to get married someday. I'm certain that anyone who follows its guidelines closely will experience satisfying results.
