Don't Date a Dud!: The 9 questions you must answer to know you're with a keeper

by Victoria Lowery, Victoria M. Lowery

You’ve read romance books and gotten relationship advice from your parents, friends and the local bartender. Choosing a life-partner is arguably one of the most impactful decisions on both personal and professional success. Do you know the qualities that will make your relationship sizzle for centuries or will it sink like a submarine? A "dud" is not some inherently malfunctioning human. A dud is something that fizzles out. It doesn't last. Someone can be a dud to you and princess or prince charming to someone else. It's about making a good match and knowing the qualities to build into your partnership. The majority of your results will come from the Yes Test. This is 9 questions answered with a yes or a no - yes your relationship has this quality or no it does not. Nothing complicated. There is one chapter dedicated to each Yes Test question with a full explanation and insight that gives you power and confidence in your relationship decisions. Exercises are included at the end of these chapters that bring out the grey areas. The exercises bring deeper layers of understanding and help couples with planning. Don't Date a Dud - the knowledge needed to form and sustain optimal partner relationships - relief from commitment doubts - insight to strengthen your connection - marriage preparation - identification of trouble spots - a test that serves as a happily ever after insurance policy - awareness that will advance friendships and co-worker relationships too "My hope and wish is that one day, formal education will pay attention to what I call education of the heart. Just as we take for granted the need to acquire proficiency in the basic academic subjects, I am hopeful that a time will come when we can take it for granted that children will learn, as part of the curriculum, the indispensability of inner love, compassion, justice, and forgiveness." ~ Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th) "The best use of life is love.” ~ Rick Warren "Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."~ C.S. Lewis "Most joy in life comes from relationships, as well as most sorrow". ~ Victoria Lowery (The Love Lady)
