How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk


I read this to preview for my church. It is backed by a ton of research, and he is a very good writer. It is based on the Relational Attachment Model
Relationship Attachment Model (RAM): The RAM is a framework to evaluate relationships across five dimensions: knowing, trusting, relying, committing, and sexual involvement. Each dimension is represented as a slider, and healthy relationships maintain a balance where emotional and physical intimacy develops gradually, preventing premature attachment or over investment.  
My church is going to have a group based on the book. It doesn't talk about Attachment to God though. That, in my humble opinion, is an important part to teach in a church setting. 

I liked it.

HERE is a great summary of the book.
