Waiting and Dating: A Sensible Guide to a Fulfilling Love Relationship Paperback – April 4, 2013

The book came on time, it was neat and in good shape.

This is a great read for ALL! Very straightforward and enlightening. Truly shifts your perspectives away from the unhealthy ideations of culture.If you are dating in alignment with Biblical principles…this book is a necessity!

I bought this book many months ago and read it in two weeks. It was good and useful but I wasn't smart enough to really use and follow the main points mentioned in this book, such as, "putting God first," walking the "friendship ladder," and "what to look for in a partner." Starting last week, I was hoping to reread some of the books I bought regarding friendship and Christian dating...and my eyes kept starring at this book, so I picked it up and read it (again), but now, everything fall into place and makes total, complete sense. Folks, to save your time, money and energy, I highly recommend you get this book and the two books below. If money is the issue, save up as much as you can just to get this book alone. Read it and reread it along with your regular daily devotion with God, because the truth is, every marriage should be based on a strong relationship and every strong relationship should derived from strong friendship.To build each step by step well, it takes time and patience, but is possible, especially with the help of God and Holy Spirit. The best part about this book is that all the necessary information is packed in only 140 pages: 96(dating) 44 (engagement)!! Many of you can read that in one day, especially when you're used to reading college textbooks. Also this book is a guideline to marriage. Although Dr. Munroe doesn't teach life after marriage, this book leads the readers to a successful marriage. It is made in the order from, preparing to date, finding the right person as well as know what to look for, then onto building friendships and lastly, engagement. Let me warn everyone not to speed up a friendship or relationship because knowing your "significant other" takes great amount of time. Just like you can't lose wight overnight or know God overnight, nor should you try to know your partner overnight.In my scenario, the biggest mistake I've made was going too far with a girl before knowing who she was on the inside. The friendship wasn't developed maturely or long enough and now I've caused a wound in her heart and wasted my own time & money, whereas I could have found the right person elsewhere. Anyways, I hope none of you go through my phase. I wish all of you the best of luck!Other books that really helps with dating/relationships are:The 10 Commandments of Dating by Ben Young & Samuel AdamsHow to Influence People and Win Friends by Dale CarnegieFor Men Only (self-explanatory) by Jeff FeldhahnGod's Gift to Women (my favorite for men) by Eric Ludy

This was the book I never knew I would need. It is simply amazing. Munroe provides thorough details of how relationships are viewed from God's perspective. This book is a must-buy for those who are single or not single!! It really transformed my approach to friendships and dating.

This book is down to earth. The principles shared in this wonderful book has helped me and is still helping me take the right step and to make the right decision about who I want to be with for the rest of my life. For example self-control in the area of sex will lead to self-control in other areas of your life such as finances. If the person I want to marry is not will to control herself in the area of sex, in the future she will not be willing to exercise self control in other minor but important areas. "...to whom much is given, much is required..."I'm also gaining a lot of insight about the kind of preparation one has to make during the engagement period. It is time for christians not to compromise but uphold the biblical principles needed for marriage.This book will be a blessing to you.

I agree with Myles that God don't have one special person for you but I disagree that God don't bring your mate to you because I had spoken with hundred of couples who said either God showed or told them who their mate was and believe me Dr. Munroe wife Ruth was surly from God and I am sure he pray for her long before she came into his life to make it even greater than it was.

This is a must read for those looking to be successful in marriage. Myles Munroe gives great insight of how to pay attention when looking for a spouse. Enjoyed this book tremendously.

Dr Myles Munroe was a man of God. This book keeps you in course to follow the manual of God's standards and stay aligned on what is right. Become complete as a Man/Woman spiritually,economically,skillfully,emotionally,educationally and character wise as well. Be one with your partner on all matters which will bring order to the household and to the marriage. The children can follow that example as well. He also teaches to have self control chemically (sexually)for that can be mistaken for love. It's just a chemical trigger meant to be shared for marriage union. And before marriage,have your ducks in a row before you get married which will make it easier to transition. Great book from a great man.
