The author, Christine Arylo explains the inspiration for writing this book:
 "I wrote this book, as a woman who almost married the wrong guy for all the wrong reasons, to speak to women of all ages, whether you’re seeking a relationship, evaluating a less than fulfilling one, rebounding from a bad breakup, or working through issues with a partner, Choosing ME before WE can teach you how to stop settling, to get real about the kind of partner you are looking for, and to start exploring and creating what you truly want in yourself and your relationship."

Author's Note: While I fully believe that Choosing ME before WE is a book for all women, at some point I had to choose a pronoun, and HE is the one I’ve always related to. Whatever your lifestyle choices and sexual orientation, if you are a woman who wants to explore, discover, and love more of herself, then this is a journey is for you, and I hope you’ll decide to take it.
It felt like I was talking to my girlfriend or with someone whose opinion I could really trust.

Publisher’s Weekly Says:
"Author and life coach Arylo's own life story informs every page of this insightful book.
After a 15-year relationship, her fiancé called it quits two hours before the engagement party, causing Arylo, a successful marketing executive, months of devastation and self-doubt.
This three-part guide about co-dependent relationships, settling for the wrong man and not knowing what you want begins with “Me,” showing how crucial it is to get to know yourself first because “our relationships are mirrors of ourselves.” Arylo delves a little deeper than most by being honest about how many women are in denial about relationships being fueled by the fear of being alone and feeling incomplete. In part two (“He”), the author guides the reader through a series of visualizations to identify four core qualities the reader wants in her future mate, and part three (“We”) advises on maintaining authenticity and intimacy in a relationship.
This exercise in intention-setting and manifestation will help any woman who wants a lasting partnership that reflects her own true self. (Mar.)"

Real comments from real readers…
"I want to thank you for writing that book!!! You are an extremely smart lady and I had never even thought of loving myself before I read your book. All of your knowledge in your book I have spread to my girlfriends hoping it will rub off on them! I actually went out on a date with myself today like you suggested in your book. It did feel awkward but I will get the hang of it the more I do it! Your book is the best therapy I have ever received! Thank you Christine!"
- Val
“I went through the book with highlighter, tabs and journal in hand. I seriously collected more real, useful tidbits from this book than I think I've ever gotten from therapy. This is not fluff or filler, but real substance mixed with Christine's personal experiences and antic dotes. Since reading the book I've bought several additional copies to keep on hand for friends who are going through relationship or self-esteem challenges. It's a gem!”
- Chicago woman
“Choosing Me before We hit the nail right on the head. I picked it up in a moment of despair at the point of finally breaking off this emotionally, even physically abusive relationship. [It] was so wrong for me in so many ways; it was based on emotional neediness on my part (and his), and also 'neediness to fit in', i.e. succumbing to societal/maternal pressures that I 'should have a boyfriend/husband' because I'm 28 'already.' I am so grateful to have your book on my journey to self-healing and self-love. I am SO excited about loving myself, taking myself out and on vacation, and doing what Letitia loves!”
- Letitia, Toronto Canada
“You've posed some great questions. Those brave enough to answer them honestly will discover the path all on their own. Thank you for the encouraging words and probing questions - they have guided me into a fantastic new journey for which I am incredibly grateful.”
- Amy
“Your courage, warmth, and strength shines through every word of this book. It’s like having the calming voice of your very best girlfriend with you-- the one whose reassuring voice calms your little (and big) moments of doubt. But it's even better than that, because Christine's insights into the issues of dating and mating are rock solid, and incredibly empowering and inspiring. I highly recommend this book.”
- Paula
“This book was life changing.”
- Sallie Ann
