10 Great Dates was not what I expected. I was under the impression that there would be more practical advice and tips, but the book emphasized more on the spiritual aspect of a relationship.

I received this book as an Early Review copy, and am unfamiliar with the other "Great Date" books. I am always looking for ways to make the marriage God has given to me and my husband even better.
