Beschreibung

Everyone wants to be loved--to find someone who will stick with them through all of life's ups and downs, someone who is in it for the long haul. But in a world where dating is increasingly based on split-second decisions and geared toward casual relationships rather than marriage, it's easy for single people to feel discouraged, used, or unworthy of true love and lasting affection. Reality just never seems to match up with our (often wildly unrealistic) expectations.

Jonathan "JP" Pokluda has counseled thousands of young singles through the pain and heartbreak of dating the world's way. Now he wants to dispel the myths, misconceptions, and fairy tales you've believed about dating and replace them with the truth from the One who invented marriage, created you to crave relationship, and is the very embodiment of true love. With plenty of true stories about relationships healed and love found, this practical book explains God's purposes for singleness, dating, and marriage and covers why you should date, who you should date, and how you should date.

If you're ready to trade the world's way of dating for the way that actually works, it's time to begin dating well.

Well folks, I've got quite a bit to say here. First of all, I did enjoy parts of this. There are wise tidbits alongside helpful tips for keeping yourself safe. Some of these include knowing and respecting your boundaries, being clear about expectations, and not using others to play games, or getting involved with people who do. Have a strong community to help you, not just while you're dating, but before and after as well. Respect yourself, respect other people, and know what you stand for. Some parts that JP wrote that I respectfully disagree with: 1. "...there are no married people problems..." Some people have problems when they're single, and some don't. Some married people have problems, and if you're married and having a problem, you're both married and have a problem. Therefore, that's a married-people problem. 2. "God didn't create dating..." God willed everything into existence by leaving his divine plan™ the way is was/is/will be. If he didn't want dating to exist, then he shouldn't have given us the brainpower to think of it. 3. "...compatibility is a myth..." I get what he's trying to say here, the reason why I disagree is because if two people get along well, respect each other, love each other, and want to promise to stay committed to each other, that's the definition of compatibility and fitting well together. 4. Incompatibility myth - the same argument I gave above explains this. If two people don't get along, they aren't compatible. 5. Touching yourself is a sin. 6. "That's one of the problems with most every religion: they are all about earning favor with a god who gets no benefit from anything you do." Why would a god create everything just for it to be of no benefit? 7. "A perfect, holy God can't just ignore sin and condone the pain it causes." We live in the world that we do because there's a whole lot of ignoring that goes on, and if God is real, there are a lot of things he hasn't finished paying attention to yet.
