We're Just Friends and Other Dating Lies: Practical Wisdom for Healthy Relationships by Milian ChuckMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Chuck Milian brings biblical wisdom to western ideas of attraction and dating. This is not a book for just singles but for parents who used to be single a long time ago. Milian provides a very useful grid for thinking through the various stated and unstated stages of opposite gender relationships. Having grown-up in a fairly restrictive environment for dating, I found this book to be provocative and helpful, and much more realistic as to how things will actually go in boy-girl relationships. His five-step guideline for bonding and relational intimacy is helpful for both parents and singles to read prior to starting the often confusing world of dating. Chuck Milian states the need for discipline in dating, in particular the need for balance in ones feelings, thinking, and behaviour. Chuck is an advocate of communicating philosophy of dating early on so that no one is surprised, hurt or disappointed when a relationship ends prior to marriage. As a married man of 12 years, I appreciated the advice found in Stage Five Dating: Dating After Saying I Do. A quick and easy read, I would recommend this to parents to read along with their children the younger they are and I recommend that college-age singles read this book as soon as possible.
