The subtitle in Dr. Kenneth Ryan’s book, “Finding Your Prince In a Sea of Toads” is “How to Find a Quality Guy Without Getting Your Heart Shredded.” The book offers 86 short chapters full of wisdom for people who are looking for satisfying life-long relationships.
An example is Chapter 31, “Men Are Microwaves, Women Are Crockpots”. Dr. Ryan uses this analogy to explain the fundamental difference between men and women’s sexuality. If men want to learn to be good lovers “they must learn to be slow subtle, and nuanced.” There are many chapters giving excellent advice on the role of sex in relationship. Section Three of the book warns “Don’t Sleep with Him–Why Not”. Section Four: “Don’t Sleep with Him–How Not”.
Dr. Ryan offers important advice on relationship at a time when our culture has legitimized dating practices that are not likely to lead to satisfying life long soul mate relationships. It is especially helpful for young women who struggle with blending their values with their need for love.
