    Samuel Adams (September 27 [O.S. September 16] 1722 – October 2, 1803) was an American statesman, political philosopher, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. As a politician in colonial Massachusetts, Adams was a leader of the movement that became the American Revolution, and was one of the architects of the principles of American republicanism that shaped the political culture of the United States. He was a second cousin to President John Adams.

The Ten Commandments of Dating of advantageous and beneficial advice from a Christian perspective. I really like that the authors are authentic and sincere, and their own personal stories they incorporate, as well as the experiences of others they know, enrich the content considerably. I rate it five stars because it is so well-written and relevant to honoring God in our dating lives today.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book on relationships.
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2006

"10 Commandments of Dating" is my favorite book on dating/relationships. It teaches you the basics from Getting a Life & be ready for others to finding the right one with confidence. Best of all, each chapter is short and concise, making them fun and interesting. Every chapter also includes pros & cons and what to do if you already break the commandment. These 'commandments' all seems like common sense and self-explanatory but the truth is, when someone is in "love", nothing can get in his/her ways, so their judgement is clouded, making them regret later on in life.

Honestly in my opinion, it's better to stop or slow down your current relationship and start reading this book before you are clear and sure to move on. You may find your current partner incompatible even though both of you claimed to be, "in love" with one another. In short, this book basically serves as warning signs, checklists, guidelines and self-help that will guaranteed success in dating.

If you learn nothing from this book, then either you're a genius and should be proud of yourself for being perfect or you're just denying your own mistakes, which is foolish by itself. All in all, this book is excellent and a must read. Even though the author Ben Young is a Christian, he doesn't talk much about theology or Christian beliefs that often, so even non-religious people can read it with ease, without being offended. The bottomline is, this book is worth every penny, every second and every effort reading it. I finished it in less than two days. It's THAT good! Almost every page is highlighted that it looks like a yellow Post-It. The only string attached is, you must practice and obey these commandments to your life in order to have successful relationships. There may be exceptions here or there, but 99.9% of times, you will succeed.

Two of my other favorite books are: "If You Really Loved Me" by Jason Evert and "Waiting and Dating" by Myles Munroe. Hope this helps! Good luck!

I liked how well this zeroes in on vital dating issues. The writing is clear and engaging. The authors' words have the weight of authority on the topic. You will find yourself motivated to think through the crucial issues as you go along. This book offers much-needed clarity, and a path to clear action for success. I was pleasantly surprised to find very good discussion questions for each chapter at the end of the book. This has earned a place among my top books on relationships.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of important life long lessons to learn here...
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2014
Verified Purchase
I am very much satisfied with this book for the most part. The only thing, I didn't agree on was the part about how it's bad to live together with your significant other. They said that it makes for a shaky marriage or union later on, but how can that be, when you are learning how to live with each other. For me personally, I don' want to move in with the guy unless I am married to him or even have sex. I made the latter mistake, but not the former simply because I couldn't afford it at the time. However, this is still a great book to read if you are considering learning life lessons whether you are young or old, but ESPECIALLY if you are young, since that is the time that people are sexually curious, relationship curious and all those other things. I recommend this for the 18 up group... but more especially for those 18-30. Good luck out there, it can be very brutal... both job wise, looking for a mate wise, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2012

Esay to read. Great for high school students or young adults. A lot of useful information. Full of examples. I am using it as a reference for a Christian youth group and it is founded in Biblical principles but not "religious" per se. A chapter is devote dto each commandment and it is very in-depth, full of real-life example that make it easier to relate to. This is not a cursory "10 steps" or ifg you know the ten rules then the book is over. The chapters provide the meat on the bones. It is true, relevant, practical, and applicable. I believe one of the best books out there on the subject.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! Even as a 30 year old, divorced, single parent, I found the common sense laws of dating to be very insightful and definitely inspiring. Having been divorced for close to 2 years and having little luck in the dating department so far, I found this book to be a breath of fresh air on all the things that I've been doing wrong and wasting my time with the wrong guys. I've recommended this book to my younger sisters and even the guy I'm currently dating. I think it's a must read! If you're serious about finding love that lasts and having the right type of relationship, I highly suggest this book! I also appreciated the Christian viewpoint!
