How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk: The Foolproof Way to Follow Your Heart Without Losing Your Mind, (Paperback)

I teach at a Christian university in Alabama and I was recently talking with a close friend who also works at a different Christian university in Arkansas. We were discussing the inability of our current students to know how to date. It seems that in the 'modern' age of the hook up culture, our young students are struggling with finding spouses who align with their principals or, in many cases, will even ask them out. We both have been surprised at the number of young women who are not getting asked out because the men are just not trying. This is where this book came in. It was recommend to us to share with our students and with our own kids. It turns the current dating culture on its head and proposes a 'radical new' concept of find a spouse based on common beliefs and principals. The idea is that you need to initially find out who this other person is and find out what they believe. It details a series of steps that can be followed to get to know the individual as a person and then consider them a potential for a long term relationship. While none of the concept are new, they are present to the current generation in a clear and precise way. I would recommend you pick a copy of this up for any single young man or women who needs a little help navigating the dating world.
