Product Description

You are a wonderful woman (everybody says so!) and you want to get married. But six months, a year, more years go by and you still aren't married. What's the problem? The problem is that you have wasted time on the wrong men. And when you are with the wrong man, you aren't available to meet the right man.

Men who aren't interested in marriage can easily trick you into thinking that they are. The List identifies subtle red flag behavior immediately so you won't be fooled again. For example, did you know that:

  • A man who takes you out for a last minute coffee date is more likely to say "I do" than one who plans an elaborate date at his favorite restaurant?
  • A man who brings you into his social circle right away probably won't end up popping the question?
  • A man who constantly sends e-mails/text messages is less likely to marry you than a man who simply calls every night? (And that sometimes it is okay to wait by the phone?)

    Other books tell YOU how to act. The List tells you how HE will act if he is going to marry you. With The List, you will never have your time wasted or your heart broken again. You will be closer to marriage than ever before.

    Too easy3
    As a single guy, I love to glance at books about dating regardless of who they're written for. (Actually, I pay close attention to what the women's books say about where to meet men.)

    I found this book amusing in that it boils down a complex process (meeting your future spouse) to a short checklist. It's easy to find counterexamples, at least among my married friends, but the interesting part was how the list describes a set of behaviors that an "ideal" man should follow. Making the first move, calling within a certain timeframe, etc. (Never mind that these actions will be considered "creepy" if the man is unattractive.) It's like a recipe for how a woman (or the authors) hope to be swept off their feet.

    Even though dating and mating is too complex to boil down to a checklist, some of the authors' points are decent and probably correlate with marriage-minded men, even though the correlations may be weak and, as a list, incomplete.

    It's about finding THE one who wants you and NOT settling for someone who just meets your timing5
    The Corbett sisters are right on with this book.
    The List is a guide to help you take note of what is happening in your relationship and if it is REALLY worth your effort and emotion. A guy who IS that in to you and really WANTS to marry YOU will invariably fit most if not all of 7 characteristics.

    Most single young women know if they're dating a lost cause, even if they cannot admit it to anyone else or themselves. Years of yo-yo-ing, hoping and praying will not change a guy who doesn't really have it in him for you. As the authors point out, if he IS going to marry you he will break all of the "guy rules". He won't be able to wait the requisite 3 days to call. He will be so anxious and excited that he will be planning your next date before the current one is over.

    The List is a clever explanation of things I think we mostly know deep down inside. If he is going to marry you, if he is that smitten and interested in you that he (without prompting) does the things the authors outline...you will know. If he is going overboard and creeping you out, or if he can't seem to find the time or energy for you- he's not worth your time. You can and WILL find someone better for you.

    Trust me girls (and guys) these characteristics are not things you can cultivate- they are things that HAPPEN when things are RIGHT.

    GREAT BOOK with a lot of truth5
    I am on my second marraige (first one ended in tragic accident) and can say that this book is on the mark. Men who are serious about a woman and in love with them will do things they never imagined themselves doing. They will act quickly and with confidence. EXCELLENT BOOK.
