CHAPTER 3
Single But Not Alone
Getting married doesn't do
anything to eliminate being alone
and does not guarantee a fulfilled
life. Fulfillment is based on your
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Your happiness has more to do
with obedience to the Will of God
than anything else. If you can
manage your happiness as a single,
you can manage your happiness in
a marriage. How many of you
know those who are married but
are still alone? God didn't intend
for Adam to stop being single, that
is unique, whole and set apart. He
just didn't want him to be alone
anymore. But let us remember
that even Adam had a stretch of
time when he was completely by
himself and alone with God.

CHAPTER 8
God Does Love You
The enemy would love for us to confuse
bearing the cross of our life's decisions
with the degree to which God loves us.
Your past mistakes, your blunders,
your bad decisions, your bad choices are
all under the blood of Jesus. Change
your focus from your problems to God's
love and His promises. Stop looking for
someone else to blame and instead look
for what God can do. Seek real love
through the love of God and then feel
his love through the love of man. If
you love differently, you will date
differently; if you date differently, you
will marry differently because "You
Marry What You Date".

I wanted to tell you how much your book blessed my soul, it actually
brought a peace to me ...each chapter just confirmed some things in
me and it was so refreshing and freeing to me…seems there should
be another book. Your book just brought together my thoughts and
some of the things I have come to know and it actually gave me
hope in my time now of preparation and waiting. I stayed so long in
my second marriage because I just didn't want to be alone, I didn't
want to admit I had messed up (again). I do deserve to be loved,
respected and treated right. I do deserve a man that truly loves God
and me and I know he exists somewhere out there. I have come to
the conclusion that if I don't let God do this thing, I won't
experience God's goodness.

You Marry What You Date introduces a powerful message that inspires
all women to come out of denial and make amends with the fact that a
conversation with God is needed before we consider who we date and
who we marry. We still have a lot of learning and growing to do when it
comes to dating and considering the "one" for marriage. This book has
inspired my husband and me to go down memory lane and considered
what worked for us while we were dating, what didn't work, and what
was missing before we got married. The title is fitting as we were
challenged to consider our behaviors while we were dating and to make
adjustments in our marriage that will lead to God's provision for
fulfillment.
