Women are not complicated.
They are deep.
And depth deserves exploration.
Pearls for Girls was written to help women, men, couples, parents, and seekers better understand one of life’s most meaningful journeys:
Love, relationships, intimacy, and purpose.
“PEARLS FOR GIRLS…DATING, WAITING & SEX…IN SEEKING CUPID, DON’T BE STUPID” proudly joins the PEARLS FOR THE SOUL SERIES and has quickly become one of the most discussed books in the collection.
Why?
Because relationships matter.
Love matters.
Marriage matters.
Family matters.
And women bring an extraordinary dimension to life that deserves thoughtful consideration.
For years I have had the privilege of speaking with women from every walk of life.
Teenagers.
Single mothers.
Young professionals.
Grandmothers.
Newlyweds.
Divorce survivors.
Women starting over.
Women beginning again.
Women looking for answers.
Women who already knew the answers but needed confirmation.
Again and again I discovered something:
Women are asking meaningful questions.
And those questions deserve meaningful answers.

PEARLS FOR GIRLS PEARLS
Throughout the book are observations and pearls of wisdom designed to make the reader pause and reflect:
“Everyone wants to be loved.
No one wants to be alone.”
“Love is not found by looking for perfection.
Love is found by accepting humanity.”
“Sex may attract two people.
Intimacy is what keeps them together.”
“A good relationship is not two perfect people.
It is two imperfect people choosing each other daily.”
“The heart was never designed to live behind walls forever.”
“Being wanted is one of the deepest needs of the human soul.”
“Do not seek someone to complete you.
Become complete and then share yourself.”
“Time reveals character better than words ever will.”
“Listen carefully.
People always tell you who they are.”
“Dating is not shopping for perfection.
It is discovering compatibility.”
A BOOK FOR WOMEN…
AND THE MEN WHO LOVE THEM
Although written with women in mind, men have repeatedly told me they gained tremendous insight from reading Pearls for Girls.
Many discovered things they never understood about women.
Others learned how their actions affected relationships.
Some learned what not to do.
Others discovered what they should have been doing all along.
The result is greater understanding.
And understanding is the beginning of wisdom.
THE REAL PURPOSE
The purpose of this book is not merely dating advice.
It is not merely relationship advice.
It is not merely discussion about sex, marriage, attraction, or intimacy.
The deeper purpose is self-discovery.
Because before you can truly know someone else…
You must first know yourself.
As I have written throughout the Pearls Series:
“The purpose of life is to discover the purpose of life.”
Relationships simply provide one of the greatest classrooms in which to learn that lesson.
WHAT THEN?
If you are dating…
If you are waiting…
If you are seeking Cupid…
If you are starting over…
If you are wondering why relationships work or fail…
Or if you simply want a deeper understanding of yourself and others…
Then Pearls for Girls may be exactly what you have been looking for.
Journey well.
Love wisely.
Choose carefully.
And remember…
In seeking Cupid…
Don’t be stupid.
— Richie
