·Rule 6: Put the Kingdom Above the Booty (God’s not getting relationship rules from Sex and the City, so why are you?)
·Rule 11: Stop Looking Back (Crying about what could’ve been keeps you from what can be.)
·Rule 15: Handle the Heat (Learn how to tame the fire, or get out of the kitchen.)
·Plus eleven more rules for avoiding relationship disasters.
Using wit, straight talk, and real-life illustrations, His Rules explores relationship guidelines singles can follow as they seek out lifelong love.

This is the most powerful book on relationships spiritual, emotional and male/female relationships that I have read.
I was so inspired I began buying the book for other singles and even had someone who was married blessed by the book. I later used this book to start a small group discussion on relationships and found we were able to seek our purpose/why God placed us here and how it can be fulfilled through reading this book.

Some of the advice in this book recommends taking Scripture out of context to get a message straight from God to you.
There’s also a section in section 5 that seems very works based.
There is a lot of legalistic material mixed with terrible advice.

His Rules, in the first chapter, clearly outlines the principles before, during and after a marriage to follow:
(1) God is first (regardless of single, newlywed, or married).
(2) Husband/Wife is second over our choices, careers, and children.
"There are no shortcuts to building a happy marriage. There are only His rules--tried, true, and time tested" (page 14).
Genogram=to help see your generational curses via family. I may also have to do this w/ friends.
Chapter entitled "Put the Kingdom Above Booty"--chuckled and wow'ed.
*Borrowed from the library and will get my copy on Amazon, which is cheaply priced at this time for hardcover too. I hope in good condition since it is through other sellers but so far, been good on Amazon when purchased.

I found this book in the library and was really excited. "Great! A book that will give me advice on dating with God in view!" But I have to admit, I was really disappointed. Although I think it was written with great ideas, I couldn't finish it; it was so dull. However, I think the book was aimed towards older audiences. (I didn't realize this until I was halfway through - this is nothing against the book).

Christian-centered guide on how to have a God-centered life in order to attract the right mate. The authors cite Bible verses and share their experiences. They give a lot of common sense advice that goes against mainstream America but that truly is the Christian way to meet the right person. This book is good for Christians who have not had luck dating and are ready to make a change.

Excellent advices on male/female relationships!
If you want to become Mr./Mrs. Right or if you want to attract your [future] partner…this book is for you!
• Remember that a strong marriage is based on principles, not feelings.
• Remember that the proof of LOVE is always measured by the quantity and quality of the time we invest in that love.
