Must read for young ladies
If you are serious about learning what it is that makes relationships healthy and committed, then this is a must read. This book completely changed my life. As a young lady entering adulthood, I knew I needed help to get the things in life that I wanted (a husband/ being a wife, having kids ect.). Taking everything he says into consideration has opened my eyes into myself and how I can obtain what I want in a healthy way in a world full of online dating apps and situationships.

Mixed Review (take what fits & disregard the rest)
My review is mixed. I did like SH outlined things, gave us a 1, … 2, … 3, … etc. Some of what he wrote about was thought provoking, if not for our personal relationships then for the relationships our friends or family members may be engaged in. The book was simple in that it contains information (I would think) most “mature thinking adults” would already know. If a woman dresses cheap, lacks healthy boundaries, and has low standards, then ummm yes, she’s not going to be able to attract or keep a “real man.” There is a difference between real men and grown boys in adult bodies.I disagree with how he “protected” his wife by her giving up things she loved to do. In my opinion, his protecting her would have been to learn to do what she loved so they could engage in those activities together. Just my opinion as I said. At the same time, however, if she was willing to sacrifice what she loved for what she considered the betterment of the relationship, then that’s her choice and if she’s okay with it, then who am I to complain. I do think there should be a balance in relationships, give and take. We don’t know what compromise SH made for her give up what she loved or what interests they developed and engaged in together. I’m trying to help him out here :-D. I have learned not to give up something I like/love, unless the man I am with can fill the gap with something better. As I said, relationships should be give and take – my opinion.I read a lot of reviews on here about the 90-day rule. We all know that Christians are having as much sex as non-Christians. If that chapter does not apply to you, disregard it. For Christians who are sexually active, I think they do need to slow down and not give up themselves (in that way) too quickly. Personally, I am not sexually active, which is one of the reasons I am single. Men, Christian men, seem to think sex is okay when the Bible clearly states that fornication is a sin. Again, it’s about our standards and if we’re living by God’s standard, His Holy Word, that clears away a lot of the riff raff really quickly.I did agree with him recognizing that some women work as hard as men outside of the home. He spoke about if the woman had a rough day and he wants some quality time, help her with the dishes, give the kids their bath, whatever. Although, I do feel those should be things a man does in the home anyway, and not just when he wants sex. Again, my opinion is that relationships are give and take. A real man is not just going to help his woman at home just because he wants a reward – sex. His reward is having a woman at home who is loyal to him and committed to the relationship, takes care of the house, the kids, and keeps herself presentable.I appreciated the part of his book that outlined how to tell if a grown boy is looking for a throwback/sports fish and not a keeper, it gave credence to women having high standards – if we have high standards, we will recognize what a real man or a grown boy is really after. Again, I think this is a good book for women who continue to find themselves in dead end relationships or being the “side chick” and haven’t the slightest clue why. For women with standards, I think this book served as a good reminder of why we have the standards we do.
