The entire contemporary Christian culture is dating wrong. The Bible doesn’t expressly talk about dating and we take this as a license to start making things up. Most of the time Christian dating looks very similar to the world’s way, only with a cross around its neck. The way we date invites pain, baggage, break-ups, and confusion. It is at best unhelpful and at worst harmful. We need to do something different. We need to do something better. We need to rethink the way we think about dating. That’s what this book is about. This book was written to change a paradigm. This book looks at the way our society dates, identifies how the current paradigm is harmful and shows us a better way. There is a way that will stop us from making finding a spouse harder than it needs to be. There is a way that will make it easier for us to honor God in our pursuit of marriage.
