Summary: VERY helpful
Review: As an 18 year-old, I am at the beginning of this critical stage in my life as to "finding the right one". I've read a couple other Christian perspectives on how to go about this, and these two men have shown the most practical way, and the way I plan to approach this. From the time I finished chapter one, I've been recommending this book to my friends and hope that they can get something out of it like I have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly Recommended
Review: As as a college student who is active in the dating community, I say kudos to the authors of this book. They approach dating from a Christian perspective, but remain down to Earth. They speak the language of young people, and make it a thoroughly enjoyable read instead of like reading a VCR manual. All of my friends are waiting in line to borrow my copy, and i've already give several copies away. YOUTH MINISTERS< this is a great resource for leading a Bible study on dating> (check it out, there's a study guide available, too!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Book!
Review: As someone who's read a ton of these books (IKDG, I Gave Dating a Chance, Boy Meets Girl, Lady in Waiting, etc etc etc!), this is a book that has a great purpose, but is on the borderline. The problem with the Ten Commandments of Dating is that it's easy (and tempting) for people to fall into thinking that these are a sure-fire way to be okay. They're not. Only relying fully on God can get you anywhere. But the fact is that these ARE important considerations, and when these rules are kept with the right frame of mind/heart/spirit, you're much better off.

Summary: Pretty good, but can easily lead someone to legalism

Summary: FINALLY! Some REAL guidelines for the dating scene!
Review: Finally, REAL stuff, REAL life! I've seen, heard about, read and burned too many relationship books that profess to have the formula for finding true love. THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF DATING doesn't mention the aligning of the planets or how to be popular in a chat room. It does, however, share tried and true guidelines for REAL singles who desire REAL relationships. Learning more about setting clear boundaries early on, fighting fairly and recognizing warning signs, (otherwize known as RED FLAGS) lead me to buy extra copies for some of my single friends. We don't have to continue making the same mistakes. This book didn't teach me that I should act a certain way to attract a mate. It encouraged me to continue developing my own interests, respect myself and those I date and lastly to "take it slow, get to know!"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A practical look at dating do's and dont's.
Review: Finally, someone has written a book that is not based on some mystical notion that you will one day know who you are supposed to spend time with and marry. In Ben Young's "Ten Commandments of Dating" he and Dr. Sam Adams look at 10 Commandments of Dating. Some of which are unabashedly politically incorrect. They take an informative and practical look at dating and why many marriages fail. They cover all the bases, from what you should focus on when not dating anyone(get a life and better yourself!) to how to "engage your brain" and not be swept away by emotional or romantic feelings of the relationship. Young and Adams have given us perhaps one of the most applicable books about dating to ever come along. If their advice is taking you can expect healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best, most practical dating book around
Review: Forget all those books that tell you that men and women are from different planets...this is a book for couples on planet Earth who want to have a long-lasting, meaningful relationship. I was completely engrossed by it from the very first page and learned so much from it. This book gives clear, common-sense reasons why so many relationships don't work, and simple, straightforward guidelines for improving your relationships and finding the right one. It also focuses on what to do when you are single (Thou Shalt Get a Life) to make yourself more attractive to others. Some of the guidelines in this book seem a little radical and "politically incorrect", but when you think about them they really make sense. The book is very straightforward and to-the-point with a healthy dose of humor mixed in. Don't "kiss dating goodbye"! Read this book and go about dating the right way! Whether you are a Christian or not I would highly recommend this book to anybody; it should be required reading for anyone who wishes to get married someday. I'm certain that anyone who follows its guidelines closely will experience satisfying results.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Book!
Review: I have to say this was a very powerful book. It opened my eyes to all of my dating mistakes. I was able to take responsibility for my mistakes, recognize them and vow never to go down those paths again. If you think you can't find that special someone or you can't understand why you keep running into the same types of people, you need this book. I have learned to "get a life" and "not to ignore the warning signs". This book is written from a Christian point of view, however, it is great information for everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Life Changing
Review: I selected this book to read after recently getting a divorce and found myself back into the dating world after 15 years. As I read the book I saw all the mistakes I made in selecting my first husband and I am determined to do things right the second time around!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: STRAIGHT CLOWNIN' ON THE CHRISTIAN TIP!!!
Review: I thumbed thru this book, took it home and laughed out loud while learning the essential, biblically-based truths to ensure successful relationships. The two authors, without being condescending or pious, get their common-sense facts and approaches across with personal experience, actual case studies and scripture. I highly, highly recommend this excellent book to those who are saved and seeking a healthy, equally-yoked mate. EXCELLENT!!!
