“It’s Complicated” Book Review
By Terri Schlichenmeyer
When you think
about your future, you can
see yourself clearly.
You’ll have a great
place to live, filled with all
the things you love. You’ll
work a job you enjoy, maybe
travel a little, and spend time
with family. One day, you’ll
even retire somewhere warm.
Yep, when you think
about the future, you can just
see yourself.
Unfortunately, that’s the
problem. You can just see
yourself.
You don’t want that,
though. You want love, some
one to grow old with, mar
riage, a lifetime companion.
And you can find the map to
that journey by reading “It’s
Complicated (But It Doesn’t
Have to Be)” by Paul Carrick
Brunson.
Throughout your
life, you’ve had plenty of
opportunity to date and find
a mate. You’ve hooked up,
dressed down, and met a lot
of clowns but you haven’t
found a keeper and it’s frus
trating. Men are all afraid of
commitment. Women are all
shallow.
And there’s Problem
Number One, says Brunson:
the word “all.” Not “all” men
are this. Not “all” women are
that. You’re a unique indi
vidual and so are each of your
prospective mates, so elimi
nate “all” from your vocabu-
Terri Schlichenmeyer
lary.
Next, get to know
the individual that you are.
You can’t find love, says
Brunson, unless you know
and love yourself. Be aware
of your own personality type,
recognize your values, and
understand that you have to
be true to you.
Chances are that
you’re meeting plenty of
people, but finding someone
to spend your life with means
knowing the difference be
tween wants and needs and
remembering that there is no
“perfect.” You might have a
list of things you want in a fu
ture spouse, but are you really
going to turn away someone
who fills your soul if (s)he
doesn’t entirely fit your crite
ria?
You also have to know if you
really want marriage or if
you’re looking for love be
cause you think you should.
Keep in mind that
your friends are not dating
experts. Get over the word
“no” because it’s just another
word for “try something else.”
Learn how to flirt. And in the
end, if nothing works right,
know when to stop trying and
move on.
When it comes to matters of
the heart, it seems like ev
erything should be common-
sense... but it’s not, which is
why you need books like “It’s
Complicated (But It Doesn’t
Have to Be)” to find love.
Author and match
maker Paul Carrick Brunson
doesn’t mess around in
this book. He tells readers,
straight-up, what they need to
know to find love and keep it.
He offers tips, reality checks,
and homework, but he’s not
above telling readers that
there are times when he can’t
help - which is what makes
this book refreshingly dif
ferent: while so many how-
to-date guides seem to put
outward focus on prospective
mates, Brunson advocates
self-examination and intro
spection first.
If you think strong,
solid love is what other people
have, this book could change
everything. “It’s Complicat
ed (But It Doesn’t Have to
Be) might be something you
should see yourself reading
soon.
