Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The media constantly sends the message to single women that it is unacceptable to not be married by a certain age. It’s exhausting to hear about so many relationships that failed because someone felt pressured and made poor decisions based on an artificial timeline.
#2 I have never desired a love that felt like crossing something off a list. I’m a small-town girl who has always dreamed big, and it never sat right with me that I might be expected to sacrifice quality for speed. I wanted a love as deep as the ocean and as strong as Gorilla Glue with nothing but room to keep growing.
#3 The Rules say that after a few dates with a man, you should start thinking about marriage. But for me, it was all about Kevin. I spent hours on the phone with my girlfriends gushing about him. I daydreamed about him at work. I found a good hairstylist in New York, and made sure to see her weekly so that I’d always look good just in case he called for the next date.
#4 I met with an attorney named Brian, who seemed nice enough. We dated for four months, and in the end his insecurities and his need for female adulation were too much for me. I ended it after four months of these philosophies being revealed.

#1

The media constantly sends the message to single women that it is unacceptable to not be married by a certain age. It’s exhausting to hear about so many relationships that failed because someone felt pressured and made poor decisions based on an artificial timeline.

#2

I have never desired a love that felt like crossing something off a list. I’m a small-town girl who has always dreamed big, and it never sat right with me that I might be expected to sacrifice quality for speed. I wanted a love as deep as the ocean and as strong as Gorilla Glue with nothing but room to keep growing.

#3

The Rules say that after a few dates with a man, you should start thinking about marriage. But for me, it was all about Kevin. I spent hours on the phone with my girlfriends gushing about him. I daydreamed about him at work. I found a good hairstylist in New York, and made sure to see her weekly so that I’d always look good just in case he called for the next date.

#4

I met with an attorney named Brian, who seemed nice enough. We dated for four months, and in the end his insecurities and his need for female adulation were too much for me. I ended it after four months of these philosophies being revealed.

#5

I learned that patience was key to success in my love life. I had no time for draining boyfriends or chasing after someone. I decided there had to be a better way than this treadmill cycle of dating.

#6

The cost of a relationship is not just about the people in it, but also about the choices you make along the way. If you make the right choices, you’ll see the result in your heart.

#7

Singleness is a full and whole experience, not a rest stop. So say it loud, ladies: I’m single and I’m proud. And I promise not to settle.

#8

Being single doesn’t mean you’re lonely. However, the messages society sends about marriage and relationships can be dangerous if you aren’t careful. They can make you believe that your singlehood is a result of something wrong with you, when in reality it’s not.

#9

You must make a decision right now that you will reject any thoughts, ideas, words, or notions contrary to your truth. You cannot change small-minded or ignorant people who may think something is wrong with you because you’re single.

#10

When you’re single, you have no one to answer to but yourself. You can do whatever you want, and there are no expectations other than your own. This is the best time to try new things and explore your independence.

#11

The world will always try to push you into getting married, even if you are happy single. You must learn to ignore these comments and let them go in one ear and out the other.

#12

Don’t waste your time waiting on a plus-one to enjoy yourself. If you believe in God, the Universe, or the divine, then leave the life maps to them. They are better than the metro in making connections.

#13

Marriage is not the magic cure for happiness. If you are happy alone, you will be happy with someone else as well. Some people choose not to get married, and that should be respected.

#14

The choice is yours: will you be single and happy, or single and miserable. If you are single and happy, it speaks to your wholeness as an individual. There is no need to seek completion from an outside source when you have what you need from within.

#15

I began to understand that the journey to Forever Love would start with me. I knew that I deserved the best, and I began to define what matters most to me. I didn’t start with finding the right person; I started with loving the person at the center of it all, and becoming my best version of myself.

#16

The process of preparing for a relationship is just as important as finding the right person. It starts with bringing a healthy you into the equation. You want to meet the right person, correct. You have a list of what you want. That’s great. Your dream person likely does too.

#17

A high-value woman knows and expects nothing less from her partner. She holds herself in high regard and expects nothing less from others. She is not about being hard as nails or rigid, but rather knowing her worth and using that as her guiding light.

#18

To become a high-value woman, you must nurture the relationship you have with yourself. When you learn to love yourself, you have a lifelong romance that never fades or tires you.

#19

High-value self-worth comes from knowing what you love about yourself.
