Publisher Description

Have you ever asked yourself: why doesn't God bring someone to love into my life? Why am I always attracted to the wrong kind of people? Should I marry someone I am not really attracted to just because we share the same values and are such great friends? You are not alone. There is a growing population of people who feel that dating is just not working for them. In this book, Dr. Henry Cloud gets to the heart of these issues and provides readers with a de-mystifying perspective on dating and a hands on How To manual to get people unstuck, un-mad, un-depressed, and on the road to fun and fulfillment in the single life.

"One of those books I don't publicize that I'm reading, but as it was pretty useful, I'm owning it. Didn't agree with every word, but helpful for those who wonder why there seems to be nothing happening in the relationship arena. Dare I say it was insightful and eye-opening? I do. :)"
