It is also a handy go to reference guide. I have a financial advisor but I know nothing. It is not my advisors fault. It is mine.

"An amazing accomplishment in touching upon so many essential components regarding ’Women and Dating’ so concisely. If you are in therapy, use this book as a checklist. It can open the door to a lot of valuable work. If not in therapy, use it as your own pre-dating checklist in the same way a pilot would use a pre-flight check before takeoff.

"Lauren Miller’s 99 things You Wish You Knew Before Stressing Out! is a searching analysis of the sources of stress in our lives, as well as a compendium of incredibly useful tools to regain our balance. However, it is so much more. Con-cepts such as grace, gratefulness, and being truly present in life, are not mere words in this book. Lauren Miller has lived them, sometimes under dire circumstances, and has incorporated them into the fabric of her daily life and its inevitable challenges. Overflowing with wisdom, peppered with telling examples from the front lines of stress, Ms. Miller leads us to a deeper sense of our own God-given glory in this universe. I read the compelling Preface, was hooked immediately, and thereafter trusted Lauren Miller to lead me the rest of the way on a journey of grace and fulfillment." Jimmy Roberts |

The great news is, even if you are not stressed, this is a beautiful reminder of how to embrace remaining calm, grateful and joyful as your enjoyment of life moves to a wonderful exciting level." Peggy McColl |
"There’s a six letter word that is an emotional curse. It wrecks havoc on our health—both mentally and physically. That word is STRESS. Author Lauren Miller had more reasons than most to suffer from this affliction. She was in the ring battling breast cancer, 12 surgeries and a divorce—all at the same time. And she came out as a victor not a victim. Share her experience in learning how to overcome stress. I don’t know a woman or man who wouldn’t benefit from this book." Ellen Levine |
"Everyone experiences stress but these days; high levels seem to be an ordinary part of life. Lauren gives her readers a path to reduce stress by providing specific tools they can deploy to improve their lives and achieve the peace all of us crave. Lauren uses her own deeply personal and extraordinary experiences for each reader’s benefit. Her inspirational life and commitment to helping all of us radiate throughout this book. The result is a unique and tested tool set anyone can use to significantly improve his or her life." Aaron Harber |

Packed with real-life examples of women who have been there, this book offers wisdom beyond ages. Anyone who is dating, contemplating marriage, engaged or even married already will glean years of wisdom from this little black book of secrets. This book should be a pre-requisite for all to-be-marrieds. Be the best friend you can be and pick up a copy for your sister, girlfriend, daughter, or even mother, step mother or mother-in-law! There is a lot of comfort in reading about situations that are more than relatable. Kudos to Laurie for her compassion, brilliance, and love of her fellow woman. An everygreen book, this work is a MUST READ! You can’t put a rating on something this good, but if I had to rate the importance of this book, I’d give it 11 stars out of 10." Sally Shields, speaker, radio personality, publicity specialist and author of the #1 Amazon.com bestseller, The Daughter-in-Law Rules! |
“We love it! 99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before Saying ‘I Do’ is undoubtedly the book that every woman should read before considering marriage—and even before entering into a serious relationship with a man. With the help of the women she interviewed, Laurie has covered in this book every conceivable topic that separates couples and leads to marital dissatisfaction, unhappiness and divorce. We highly recommend this practical, down-to-earth book and will suggest it as a ‘must-read’ for any single woman looking for a committed relationship.” Susie and Otto Collins |
“If my clients had read Dr. Weiss’ informative and resource packed book before they married, I might be looking for a new line of work! Even if you think you know all about marriage and relationships, you are sure to learn something interesting and invaluable from Dr. Weiss’ wise and intimate work. Easily accessible, the material is chock-full of useful and often surprising information. Take advantage of Dr. Weiss’ 50 plus years of marriage and over 40 years as a relationship therapist and marriage counselor. You will not be disappointed. A thoroughly engaging read.” Katy Kurtz, |
“The words of wisdom ingrained in the wonderfully concise book by Dr Laurie Weiss are amazing. Somehow, Dr Weiss has been able to neatly package, without a lot of peripheral discussion, the most significant challenges I have personally experienced and have watched my friends experience as they live their married life. As someone who has been married and divorced, then married and widowed, I can truly vouch for what Dr. Weiss presents here. No matter how much in love you are or how disgusted you are in your current relationship, I highly recommend you read this wonderful book. 99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before Saying ‘I Do’ is a must read for all women, whether married or thinking of marriage ... it just may save you and your relationship.” Barbara Joye, The Shift Guru |
“99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before Saying ‘I Do’ by Dr. Laurie Weiss is the new manifesto for women. Whether they say ‘I do’ or ‘I don’t,’ it’s got all the ingredients for a woman to be smart, sassy, and successful. From demystifying the beliefs and myths of coupledom that detour so many; to handling money; and a myriad of unexpected hiccups, this book is a gem. The resources are excellent. It should be required reading for anyone single ... and it wouldn’t hurt those who are married as well!” Judith Briles |
“Laurie expresses a wealth of information to women in all stages of relationship-life that can help them answer the question: Why does some-thing that feels so good (a love relationship) become something that feels so bad? Backed by years of personal and professional experience with personal stories, her message is succinct and clear—on a psychological level everything has an explanation.” Dr. Brenda Schaeffer |
“This book is an excellent resource for any woman, in a relationship or not. But, it is especially important information for a woman contemplating marriage. Weiss really gets at the core of what women need to consider before making that ultimate commitment.” Kim Olver |
“In a world flooded with self-help texts, this book presents a well organized, thoughtful, and realistic ‘guidebook’ for a successful marriage. Moreover, sharing the ‘secrets’ of real women makes it particularly enticing (delicious?). I wish I’d had a book like this years ago.” Pam Gordon, |
“Where do women most likely learn about all the ins-and-outs of how to build a healthy relationship anyway? Certainly not in the seventh grade locker room or in health class. No one told us THE most important things to understand, relationship-wise and as such we presume that Prince Charming will love, honor, and cherish us till death do us part. WRONG! Relationships take work, understanding, and pro-active behaviors to make them stay healthy and satisfying. Helping women recognize that the fairy tale is not the truth, Laurie Weiss gives women the tools for making the right choices in a mate and whether or not marriage necessarily should be the end-all in every relationship. Unless you’re a nun, every woman NEEDS THIS BOOK!” Mary Jo Fay, RN, MSN, |
