How Do You Know When You're Really in Love?

This book is good for anyone who is in a relationship and trying to decide if the person they are with is someone they want to get serious with. But its also good for someone not in an relationship who wants to learn what they should be looking for in a potential mate. The book delves into the real purpose of dating and why its important and how good dating leads to good marriage. This especially important to us LDS people who believe that marriage is eternal so the decision is even more important. Its obvious to me that Brother McIntosh has spent many years working with young single adults and the problems of dating and marriage. His advice is wisdom everyone should have.

I enjoyed this book and have added it to my collection. I would also recommend, "300 Questions Every LDS Couple Should Ask Before Marriage" and all of Dr. Laura Schlessinger's books!

This is the most practical guide I have read on the subject of courtship for LDS young people. It explodes many myths and lays the groundwork for reasoned decision-making. Most of all, it keeps Christ in the mix and proposes a marriage that is bound to be stable over the years.

This book was a great help to me when I was going through the process of deciding whether to marry my boyfriend or not. It helped me to define what love really is and how much you need of it to marry. It covers everything from before courtship to engagement. The engagement questions asked are great. They make a realistic discussion of married life very objective. They are wonderful discussion starters for engaged couples to talk about kids, finances, household duties, etc. I highly recommend this book and everyone that I have told to read it have liked it too.

I think all LDS youth should read this book before and during the courtship process. I gave a copy to my daughter at BYU she read it and passed it on to several friends. Several people have commented to her on how it helped them break off relationships that needed to be and helped them through the healing process afterwards. The Author does a good job of organizing and presenting the information in a non preachy manner while emphasising the importance of becoming the type of person you would want to fall in love with.
