God has given us a specific, compelling reason for each of the four relational singleness, dating, engagement, and marriage. Whichever one of these seasons you're in now, this study unlocks its God-given purpose and shows you how to thrive within it.
Thriving in your current stage of life is not easy, especially in this modern age. It's never been easier or more convenient for people to connect with one another. Yet more and more people today are describing themselves as lonely. Why is that? If everything in this world is so connected, why are so many of us feeling profoundly disconnected?

Not a fan. Too much of the “proverbs 31 woman”, “wives submit to your husband”, and “take advantage of your single years” messaging I’ve heard thousands of times.
This book just made one of my top favorite books for self improvement. There is no better self improvement practice than letting go and letting God. Incredible how Ben was able to exegete scripture and pull so much wealth of knowledge and wisdom from what God’s intended purpose for romantic relationships should look like.
This book is up there and highly recommended, in others a MUST READ along with “5 Love Languages”, by Dr. Gary Chapman, and “The Languages of Love and Respect”, by Dr. Eggrichs Emerson, for any and all readers, single, dating, engaged or married as the title of this book suggest!!
Through these three books, not only have I gotten to know myself, but how a godly man ought to think and conduct himself through a proclaiming biblical worldview lens.
