This is to piggyback on another thread, talking about the worst relationship advice. Here is mine
- When a man loves you, you'll know. When he doesn't, you'd be confused. Every.single.time I have been confused in a relationship, the man did not love me. Every time.
-The Rules- Now this book usually gets a bad rap and I am not saying I listen to every single advice (too strict). But, it works for me. Every single time I initiate contact with a guy or do too much for a guy, it never works. When I ignore a guy or play hard too get, it works like a charm. However, I must say that it probably works on a certain type of guy... the alpha guy I am most attracted to. This probably won't work on a beta male.
-He is just not that into you- This is self explanatory. Basically if you have to rack your brain or make excuses for a guy, HE IS JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU.
Now even though I am aware of these things, I slip occasionally, particularly when I meet a devastatingly handsome guy. Let's just say I temporarily lose my mind. I am wondering if I need to tattoo these pointers on me so I don't forget.
Sassy, Single, and Satisfied by Michelle McKinney Hammond! Really shows that being happy about being single is great from a Godly perspective. Before reading this book I actually cried at night because I was like the only single girl at my school.
The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman. I got this book as a gift at my wedding shower and although I wondered about the person who gave it to me (was it appropriate as a gift right before my wedding) once I read it, I realized things that were going to make my marriage work before we were at the point that so many couples are and on the verge of breaking up or divorce. I would recommend all of his books. I like that they aren't just mumbo jumbo, religious, or preachy. They have statistics to back up their findings and I valued that.

What are yours?
I agree with all of the above.
Unfortunately, when I started reading any advice, it was already too late. Truth be told, though, taking advice of this nature is not exactly my forte.

This.
I wish I had this book when I was in high school. Every girl should read it. It should be 9th grade homework.
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet....poetic essays on Joy, Sorrow, Pain, Marriage, Children, Reason and Passion.....and on Love, the last of which includes:
"And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course".

I enjoy his writings.
~When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you . . . .
