Book Review, by Ms. Latina Renee
This section of the book is the a continuation of what was mentioned in the Before You Commit - Research chapter. Bishop T. D. Jakes suggest four areas of development: preparation, desperation, stimilation, and, celebration.
Preparation is something we should all know so I'm skipping ahead to the red flagged desperation topic. The book states "many woman who discuss marriage on the first or second date may come off as desperate". I'll add to that with men who talk about having babies in early dates are desperate too.
Are you stimilated by your partner? The stimulation should occur beyond physical or sexual attraction. The Before You Do: Making Great Decisions That You Wont Regret book focuses in on mental stimulation.
Here's a question to think about...
Do you celebrate your partner?
What points made in this chapter are most important to you?
