SHIDDUCH SUCCESS:
DateWell’s Guide for Effective Dating
Wonderful people are investing enormous time, effort, and money in pursuit of their goal of marriage, but unbeknown to them, they are being held back by internal obstacles. This book explores many aspects of people’s perceptions, approaches, or responses to dating that may hinder their success. Whether you are single or supporting someone who is, this book offers valuable insights that could help figure things out.

The ideas in this book are the product of many years of research and practical work conducted by DateWell (www.datewell.org) to develop valuable and credible insights into the internal challenges that impede individuals during their dating journeys. The book does not propose major changes but offers greater clarity about the various ways some people experience dating and how they can navigate their way toward success.

Available in paperback, hard cover  and Kindle.

  1. Fundamental Concepts (Chapters 2-4) covering essential principles of shidduch dating, guidance on how to approach challenges that arise during dating, and foundational psychological concepts.
  2. Selection and Decision Making (Chapters 5-9) exploring selecting a partner and making informed decisions, defining your priorities, making wise choices, and gaining clarity when finalizing decisions.
  3. Understanding Dating Challenges (Chapters 10-15) presenting core reasons individuals may struggle with dating, such as difficulty forming emotional connections, consistent ambivalence toward dating partners, and concerns related to commitment.
  4. Practical Matters (Chapters 16-19) focusing on more practical aspects of dating, including dating skills and morals, ethical considerations, and mental health-related issues.
