Another good one:

For Women Only
by: Shaunti Feldham

Also, For Men Only is supposed to be good.

These are great for helping us communicate with and better understand the opposite sex.

Oooooooo, I loved Captivating. DH has been reading Wild at Heart off and on. I think he likes it, but it's a little to "close" for him, KWIM?

I haven't read this, but Every Woman's Marriage by Shannon Etheridge might be a good addition. She also wrote Completely His, which I hope to read soon.

Don't waste your money. All it is is a slightly Christian slant on the standard macho bovine manure. I bought it when my ex-girlfriend suggested it to me and tried to read it but wasn't able to force my self to read more than about the first two chapters.

The only such book I ever read,was Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus by John Gray,and think it should be required reading in Junior HS.

Might help the sexes have a better understanding of each other, BEFORE they are in a relationship,and would show girls the folly of premartial sex,because like it or not ladies, it always was and still is the female's place to set the moral ground rules,and these days girls are as promiscuous as boys!

Yes,that includes kids who attend church! Just as there are plenty of couples attending church who are 'shacking-up'!

Anyway,I was amazed at what I learned from this book.

Theofilus,

You are not unequally yoked, due to the fact that you are not even married, so why are you giving your input here?

To be pushing 50 and be single, I'm just not sure you need to be passing out advise. Maybe you should be seeking it.

And you are certainly in the minority opinion concerning Wild at Heart. That book is very popular. I have read it, and it's probably time to read it again. It does speak to the masculinity of men in a positive way.

Thanks for the reminder, AIH! Fantastic book.
