To Play Nice? Or Be A "B****"?!

We've all heard men and women say.... she is such a bitch why are you with her? But the man is so enamored by her that there they stay. 

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this book. I've never really read something quite like this, but it caught my attention. 

Many women allow themselves to become a doormat or a mother moreso than a partner or a lover. 

It's important to do things for yourself. To be happy first and foremost with yourself. To not surround every waking moment indulged in your significant other. And if you have found yourself letting or have let these things happen you should read through.

There are great pieces shared from men and women alike. Sherry Argov gives out some great advice that seems pretty obvious when pointed out but there are also simple mess ups that many women do or have done thinking they're doing right but simply trying too hard.

Would definitely advise single women to read it before jumping straight into the dating scene!

Giving Up? Or Giving It To God?!?!

Praying For Your Future Husband (Preparing Your Heart for His) by Robin Jones Gunn and Tricia Goyer

 

These women have a way of so eloquently bringing prayer and thankfulness to any circumstance regarding the male species and plain and simply giving it to God.

This isn’t a how to get the guy… it’s not how to lose a guy in ten days…. It’s a devotional of praying and giving it all to God, letting him decide what is right for you and for his glory.

I love Robin and Trish’s stories along with the other women’s stories as well that are sprinkled throughout. It hits home knowing these women aren’t perfect… they don’t have perfect stories… some have been single for years and years but they’re happy, content with what God has blessed them with. That’s what it’s all about. Accepting what God decides for your life.

I think it’s a must read for the single women of this world… too much society pressures us to just be with someone etc. I’d say any teen on up who can handle discussions about sex, abortion, dating, and marriage need to read this. I didn’t read this looking for how to get a man but I really had never thought praying for your to be husband was something you could do. It intrigued me. So I read it. There was so much to take from this book. And I feel more at peace and content in my own relationship with God by giving him everything in my life… my thoughts, my wishes, desires, my concerns.

If you’re a single woman… give it a shot.

A Date? Or A Disaster?!?!?! Drinking My Way Through 14 Dating Sites by Tiffany Peon

Tiffany Peon should probably write for a magazine. Her piece was hilarious and relatable. Her own story of trying to move on from a devastating breakup... we've all been there if we aren't already. That being said she makes it through and ends up reuniting with her ex but this is her short tale of it.
If you learn anything take it as this: Everything happens for a reason & sometimes it's to learn that no matter what... you're gonna be ok.
The book was a fast read and despite my lack of finding humor in anything at the moment (due in full to my personal life struggles) I couldn't help but at least smile.
The only downfall was at some points I wasn't quite sure where the part in the story fell whether it happened pre-reunite or not.
It's a fun read for those single and dating or just to get a good chuckle at another's expense of online dating.

A Deal? OR A Lost Cause?!?! Patti Stanger's Seal the Deal

Let me just start off by saying I love this lovely lady!!! She's pretty awesome. I have watched millionaire matchmaker many a time and I sincerely can't help but listen to the things she says. Her words of wisdom. Not only is it a great show but there is a lot to learn regardless!!! 
Knowing she had published books on dating and steps toward the big commitment I was intrigued to read what she had to say... even though I was already in a relationship why not read it? Maybe there was something I could learn to better myself in my own relationship with my best friend whom I love and adore. He's always made me want to better myself. From supporting my dreams to just being a friend on the roughest of days. I want to be the best woman I can be for him, for us, for me.
So reading her books or watching her show... you have to either love her or hate her but either way she demands and has earned the right as a woman to be respected. Patti says it like it is even in her books which makes her that much more relatable. And even though secretly I may squint my eyes and not like exactly what she says, I know she's right. Come on she's got proof to back up that she's right ladies and gentleman. 
I have made my own mistakes within relationships but I definitely took a lot from this book. Whether you're single, married, or just in a relationship you should check it out. I don't think you should ever stop learning or trying to better yourself. And for those that are married you can give those of us who aren't, this good advice... and because maybe you're our best friends you can get it through our ever thickened skulls that try to make excuses for the ones we love or for ourselves ;) 
I may just get her first two books to see what else she has to say, I really enjoyed reading this one with her personality and stories from her own matchmaking... I enjoyed every moment!!!!! xoxo
