Bookshelf: Candice Watters' Get Married: What Women Can do to Help it Happen

Yes, this book was sitting on my shelf. More out of curiosity than needing the advice though. I was already with my now fiance at the time I bought this book. Some of this advice is practical, and other parts of the book are cringe worthy. Mostly because of the the emphasis on the mandate to Adam and Eve to reproduce. Watters seems to really believe if a married couple chooses to not have children they are in the wrong. I have no idea why some Christians like to single out that verse to multiply, but like to ignore countless others like how a woman should be secluded during her menstrual cycle. Plus, it's common sense God would tell them to make babies! If they hadn't the population wouldn't have grown, and today we don't have a problem with that, but we do have a problem with family structure.

Summary: Almost any woman you've met has dreamed about the day she will marry, though there are those who haven't. This book is more so for those who believe they are trying to marry in a world that doesn't place the value on marriage that there once was though. Women tend to be focusing on the negatives of men and prolonging marriage for educational and financial security as well, and this does push back the chances of babies if you want that sort of thing. Though women are making choices that will delay marriage they still complain about being single. Watters provides some truths and tips to staying content but also pursuing the idea of marriage while you're single.
