Summary

In discussions about finding a marriage partner, we often hear the cliche "you'll just know." Unfortunately, this conjecture can be dangerous, as love is blind to many faults. When those words have faded, the heartache of an ailing or broken marriage will still be sharp. In Finding Mr. Right, the authors offer a list of ten characteristics to look for in Mr. Right-physical attraction is NOT one of them!-along with ten principles on how to choose Mr. Right. They dispel the "one perfect person" myth, encouraging women to abandon the search for Mr. Perfect and become comfortable with Mr. Right. Additionally, they share steps to becoming Miss Right. For women confused by the dating game or seeking guidance in this major life decision, Finding Mr. Right is an essential resource.
