I have a copy of it..bought it 5 years ago. EXCELLENT book (an updated "2nd edition" was published last year). Check out the sequel: Boy Meets Girl which talks about courtship and how God used Joshua in his courtship with his wife Shannon. Also highly recommended.
I just want you to be very careful with "the one" that you perceive is sent to you... While I find you extremely witty, intelligent and have a lot going for yourself in many, many departments, I also find you a bit naive with the repartee and rapport of whooing and bedazzling the "God chosen woman"...
How am I naive?  Please elaborate...
Yeah, you might meet her at Church and I sure hope you do... But, I am unsure if that is what you really truly desire and even if you convince yourself with all your effort that "that woman" is the woman that "God sent to you"... Well, sweetheart... I just think...
Lemme put it to you this way, could you love a "Mary Magdelene" after she repented and broke the bottle on Jesus' feet and wiped His feet with her tears? Would that be a problem for you in your God-sent love of your life?
I kinda get what you are saying, but exactly what kind of woman I am really truly desiring...I'm sort of confused by what you are trying to convey to me.
Also, you do not FIND a wife--God sends you to her by directing your path... Are you hearing Him?

YES! I have been in deep prayer with Him every day and/or night this week. I am just waiting for Him to reveal and direct my path(s).
ETA: My pastor, Apostle Eric Warren, prophesied (sp?) to my congregation on New Year's that 2005 will be a year of harvest for the congregation; we will only need to stay in prayer and to not lose faith.
