Here is only half of the statements and verses, I don't want to dwell on this for too long or I would post more, but frankly this isn't my favorite topic as of now. I like it but its not what I'm passionate about probably because I'm not dateing as of yet. Just remember these verses aren't just for the men, they are for the women too and this book points this out. They actually have study guide questions for him, for her and for the both of them together. I do recommend the book for a dating couple, its an easy read it helps with accountability. Ok, thats all for me!!
