This is a great guide for any woman who wants to be smart, empowered and conscious in the choices she makes in love, life and family.” —Dr. Shefali Tsabary NYT Bestselling Author of THE AWAKENED FAMILY GIVE AWAY YOUR HEART, but don’t lose your mind. Know the deal you’re getting into. Know that self-preservation is the key to a happy marriage— and a happy divorce. We don’t take a job expecting that we’ll hate it and quit. We don’t sign the lease on an apartment we’ll be sick of in six months, and we don’t enter into a relationship planning for the breakup. But the flip side is that we shouldn’t expect any relationship we enter into will save us from the responsibility of being self-sufficient. No matter where you are in the process—dating, engaged, married, contemplating separation, and divorce—if you can realize why you have to put yourself first, you’re halfway there. Whether you’re in the rapturous throes of endless love or the first moments of stomach-churning awareness that your marriage is falling apart, this book is for you. It’s for every woman who understands that self-preservation will not happen if you rely on someone else to save you. You need to maintain—or begin to establish— your personal independence and financial solvency if you want to be self-sufficient no matter what life throws at you. You can lean on someone, but you have to be able to stand on your own two feet at a moment’s notice, and that’s what this book is about.

One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written for the scores of single-never-been-married women who are desperately seeking marriage. Are they aware of what being a man's wife really means? Are they prepared for a husband? If they knew what it really meant to be a wife, would they still want it? This book will advise single women on how to answer these questions for themselves. Excerpt: Taken from Section4 Little things - No one sets out in marriage contemplating a divorce. But, what if you did? Not in a morbid sort of way where you're setting yourself up with a death wish (speaking to the death of a marriage) but, in a realistic way of thinking of an 'every' case scenario. Ask yourself, "How would this man treat me during a divorce?" This is something most people don't consider. And when the person you were supposed to love forever turns into public enemy number one, it's difficult to process. When the man who was supposed to honor and cherish you is not only not wishing you well but is doing everything within his power to bring you down, it's enough to literally change your outlook on life, love, and relationships. You lose faith in romance and commitment. Say you pledged yourlife to a man who seems to be out to get you. The word "committed" will take on a whole new meaning-complete with straitjacket. When you're romantically involved in the beginning and still feeling the fluttering wings of butterflies in your stomach you would never guess that this same person would later call you out of your name, disrespect you in ways you would never imagine, plot against you, and sometimes even strike you. If you pay attention, there are always signs early on...

Download or read book Marry by Choice Not by Chance written by Susan Patton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previously published as Marry Smart and now updated with a new foreword responding to the controversy that followed its initial release, this is the unvarnished truth about marriage, motherhood, and happiness from the “Princeton Mom.” Says James Taranto of The Wall Street Journal, “Every smart young woman should seriously consider Susan Patton’s commonsense advice. Sure, it’s controversial—but only because it’s so vital.” A graduate of one of the first classes of women at Princeton University, Susan Patton has heard smart young women admit they aspire to marriage and motherhood but have no model for pursuing those goals. Reflecting on the choices she made in her early twenties, she’s boldly turned the tables on our “career first” conditioning and suggests that you seek out the golden opportunities right in front of you, right now. In Marry By Choice, Not By Chance, Patton shares the wisdom of her experience with warmth, humor, and very straight talk. But this is not your mother’s dating guide—Marry By Choice, Not By Chance celebrates the vital achievements of traditional marriage and motherhood, and gives you the essential life strategies that no one’s talking about, including how to strike while the greatest number of single young men is available to you; attract a man who is your intellectual and emotional equal; date to find a mate; and find total satisfaction in your roles as a wife and mother. Whether or not you are in college, whether your future plans are clear or still undecided, Marry By Choice, Not By Chance is a must-read for all young women who want to get the most out of love and life.

Download or read book Smart Girls Marry Money written by Elizabeth Ford and published by Running Press Adult. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does society applaud a girl who falls for a guy's "big blue eyes" yet denounces one who chooses a man with a "big green bankroll"? After all, isn't earning power more a reflection of a man's values and character? Smart Girls Marry Money challenges the ideals and assumptions women have blindly accepted about love and marriage -- and shows how they've done so at their own economic peril. In this brazen manifesto, authors Elizabeth Ford and Daniela Drake use cold hard facts, real science, and true stories to present a compelling case for why mercenary marriages make the most sense for future happiness. Smart Girls taps into a growing, collective suspicion that the post-feminist world isn't all it's cracked up to be. Female "empowerment" has women working hard to look sexier than ever, while carrying more than their fair share financially. Yet sadly, statistics prove that: not only do women continue to earn far less than their male counterparts, they also suffer far more economically when marriages fail. Ford and Drake think it's high time that women get their heads out of the clouds and start caring about their own security -- the kind that can be measured in dollars and common sense. With an irreverent, straight-talk tone, the authors serve up a sound case and intriguing strategy for how women can truly "have it all." Sure to spark conversation and controversy, Smart Girls Marry Money will ultimately empower women with a new way to take control of both their economic and romantic lives.

Download or read book Strong Woman I Dare You to Submit written by Michele Reapsmith and published by Rosetta Center Ministries. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strong Woman, I Dare You to Submit is a book meant to assist couples, especially women, on relationship matters from a Christian perspective. Although some topics are designed for the benefit of men who are seeking relationship guidance; Dr. Chele believes relationship restoration begins with the woman's change of mindset and attitude. The material presented directs readers to specific scriptures that topics are taken from. The purpose of the scriptures is to encourage continued study of the Holy Bible and God's Word. This is a book that should be read by singles and couples who are seeking peace and restoration in their current relationships or who are preparing for new relationships. A large portion of the book focuses on the definition of a "good" man and direction for women in their behaviors within the relationship. It is important for women and men not to allow the world to guide their behaviors in order to benefit from the Glory of God. Dr. Chele is very direct in clearing up the negative stigmas that women have come to accept regarding submission to their husbands and allowing them to be the "head" as commanded by God. She is able to describe the beauty of these duties as God meant them to be in our lives. This book is dedicated to the restoration of marriage and living a full and rewarding life with your spouse and a relationship guide for couples and singles anticipating marriage. Dr. Chele and Rose Center Ministries are prayerful that all who read this book will find themselves on the road to restoration and extend additional services through the ministry to further explain relationships from God's perspective. God Bless You!
