Excellent Resource

This book gets to the heart of the pursuit of marriage. It could have gone in a practical direction like a lot of books out there, but that would probably have led to controversy. This book focuses on our purpose as Christians on this earth and how dating and marriage fit in. It focuses on who God is and how He operates in our world and our individual lives. I would recommend it to anyone, both single and married. It has reassured me of things I have convictions about and has also changed my mind on some other things that I previously held as absolute. Please consider reading this book. It's a good read with Godly insight.

This is the most unique book I’ve ever read on dating and marriage, and the writer is one of the most spiritually gifted people I’ve ever heard. (He also has a YouTube channel called Applying God’s Word, which I would highly recommend.) The focus of this book is on having a correct understanding of theology and then learning how to apply it specifically to dating and marrying the right person. It’s quite profound!

Profound book that will have you thinking for hours. Each chapter ends with a series of thought provoking questions that make you analyze the information given. I think this is a great read for every Christian, whether called to marriage or singleness. The book is short but detailed. I plan on going back to review and process the questions and answers. I found Mark though his YouTube videos and decided to buy his book after watching several.

What a blessing with this book! Such a great reminder how we are to God and how He loves us so and want only what's the best for us. This book is such an amazing guide in finding The Right One according to what God intended for us to have. So much insights especially for true Christians seeking for their other half. I would highly recommend this read. Definitely a great re-read.
