I LOVE the book blurb:"Plucking petals off daisies or making a pros and cons list can sometimes be helpful. But there’s a better way to decide whom to marry and if you are ready. Using the family proclamation~"And that is exactly what the author does.We are not here to just "eat, drink, and be merry..."There is a plan~We are here on earth to learn, to progress, and to love.And a family is central to that plan!Who you marry is key!Each chapter takes a section of the Family Proclamation and ties it into how to prepare for marriage and what to look for in a marriage partner.Things like:*Understanding the plan*Coming to know yourself*Commitments*Love or Lust?*The sacred duty of parenthood*Inviting Christ into your marriage*Nine foundation stones for marriage*And more~As you wait for that special someone there are things you can do right now to prepare yourself to BE a special someone.While this book was specifically written for those looking to get married...I think it is a GREAT RESOURCE for married couples to read and study to help re-evaluate where they are and look to see if they are still following the principles outlined in the proclamation.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
4 STARS I think this is a good book for teens and up. It takes the Family proclamation and discuss it to help you set priorities, This book does speak in a plain, simple way how to prepare you to be a wife, mother, husband and father. What and how to look for a companion. Talks about what to be aware of like a couple that is intimate before marriage might be more tempted after marriage to break the vows of marriage. I admit I called up my girls and shared different parts of the book with them. One thing I shared with my shy daughter was to make friends with lots of men so she can figure out what works for her. I want her to at least talk with one or two first. One suggestion to one boy who asked about talking to girls. He was told to make a list of questions of things to ask a girl than memorize it. He did and after a few tries was easier to talk to girls and get to know them. My other daughter I called up to read her on subject is don't be pushed into marriage and don't put off marriage for school, saving up for it or finding a better job. It talks about some issues like abortion, family planning, education, chastity, and hard work at marriage. Definitely using Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints standards and beliefs. Backed up by scriptures, Prophets and women leaders of the church. It also reminded me of things I need to do. It gives good advice for after marriage, that it is just a start. Marriage should be worked on. Like weekly dating of spouse, be less selfish, work together as a family. I am glad I have read Choosing Your Eternal Companion. I was given this ebook to read for purpose of giving honest review and be part of it's blog tour. Received the book from Cedar Fort Publishing.
Fun and engaging book! I love how the author uses The Family- A Proclamation to the World as a guide. I also enjoy the discussion questions at the end of each chapter
