Ready for a dating book with a little different viewpoint? Marla Martenson has written a book that is readable, timely, and can certainly change your point of view. She also writes with a good deal of humor and understanding. She has been on both sides of the issue, and she definitely knows what she is writing about.
I love the fact that she takes a positive outlook when it comes to finding your soul mate. She says to think about what you want rather than what you don't want. Don't give up and settle. In fact, your mindset should be that your soul mate is already there. Know what you want, and go for it!
As a divorcee myself, I know what it is like to have a relationship go sour. I was certain that I did everything right. The only thing I did wrong was to not know who I really was when I got married. Had I taken the time to discover the real me and given myself the needed time and space, I don't think I would have married when and whom I did. I settled, but I did not realize it. I also know what it means to jump into a relationship quickly when one ends. My "engagement" was something that should never have happened, but thankfully, I did what I needed to. I think Marla would have approved.
Probably the only criticism I can give is that Marla's positive outlook sometimes paints this topic a little too roseate. There are circumstances that can keep one from finding his/her soul mate that cannot be controlled. And there are even circumstances that will cause your soul mate to walk away from you. The future can be uncertain, and you can only hope and pray that when you find your soul mate, it will be for a lifetime.
In conclusion, I think that much of the advice in this book applies to dating and even life in general. While I am convinced that I am not ready (and may never be again) to enter the dating scene again, if you are, I recommend this book highly.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100 percent mine, and I was not financially compensated.

Ok, I'm not sure, but I just didn't buy into this book. I get being upbeat and positive, but I think this just took it too far (or maybe I'm just too cynical). The author talks a lot about thinking positive things which gives off vibrations at high frequency (and vice-versa) and when people are vibrating at a high frequency, they can pull their desires into their lives. I just don't see that working. I do think its a good idea to identify what you do want in a relationship though, and I agree with the book that you shouldn't stay in a relationship just because its comfortable. Luckily, right now I don't need to put this book into practice, but maybe if I have the unfortunate need to one day, I will try it out.

This book is about gaining the power to create the relationship you desire. Easy to read and it even has short exercises to complete to examine exactly what you are looking for in a "soul mate". Also gives you an opportunity to look at yourself and make sure that you are who you need to be in order to attract the right people in to your life.

3.5 Stars. This is a follow-up book to Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting, which was written to simplify the teachings of Abraham Hicks. I've yet to read the original Excuse Me book but this sequel definitely has the 'simplified' part down,it felt almost too light and fluffy,too easy to read,more like it was written for tweens. I think it's lightness somehow made me soak up the principles less.
If you have read the original book or even if you're fairly new to Law of Attraction,I think this easy and plain guide will be very helpful. It tells you only the necessary basics of how to manifest and draw in what you desire. If you've been into this stuff for awhile and Abraham Hicks is your fave,this book is going to feel too 'beginner' for you and you're not going to get the in-depth details and trouble shooting you may be wanting. (I'd recommend The Soulmate Secret by Arielle Ford for those wanting a great book on manifesting true love)
Amongst the steps for manifesting are dating tips and advice and some example stories.
It is a solid book, and it definitely got me excited about meeting my very own Darling, and I will certainly be doing all exercises included. I just wish it'd been a little more in-depth. But if you want a cute fuzzy guide that will give you everything you need to know in plain language,this is it!
