Donna Margaret Greene's To Knot or Not, a collection of advice letters from 70 young Christian women all over the United States, allows readers to glean honest advice about premarital issues such as dating to marry, what it means to marry God's way, and steps to take to lay the proper foundation for marriage.
You might be surprised to see this book on my reading list. I'm surprised I read it. I did have good reason to... the author is a good friend of mine, as are several contributors. In any case, I found this sitting on the top of my pile of books one day last week, and just started reading. And now I'm finished... though I'm still not sure what to do with the information since I have no remote intention of marrying soon, much less a prospect to ask me to do so.
The book has loads of good advice, though it may not fit everyone. It did fit my bill... as one seeking to have a meaningful and loyal marriage with a Godly husband one day. The nice thing about Donna's books are that they compile lots of great letters and thus various points of view. The down side is that it can be redundant at times, but I don't mind that, since I guess the major points are likely worth hitting again and again.
Anyway. I'd buy for a friend, so that's a recommendation from me!
