Practical biblical guidance for every step of your relationship journey—from single to dating to engaged to married from the bestselling author of Stop Waiting for Permission.

“A helpful resource for anyone looking . . . to align their relationship with God’s heart.”—Tim Timberlake

When it comes to romantic relationships, have you ever felt like you are navigating without a GPS, broken down with no help in sight, or running on empty—miles from the nearest gas station? Has the modern dating scene left you heartsick or hopeless? If so, you’re not alone, and it’s not too late to get on the highway toward your desired destination.

In Relationship Road Map, pastor and bestselling author Stephen Chandler mines Scripture for practical applications to bring hope, healing, and redirection to your journey. Whether you’re single and searching, delving into dating, engaged, or jaded from too many bad dates, the hard-won wisdom and biblical insights in this book will set you on a course toward a healthier, more fulfilling relational future.

As he unfolds the road map, Chandler lays out the keys to navigating your way to the altar and beyond, including the importance of

• beginning your dating journey with marriage in mind

• getting a spiritual tune-up by inviting God to prepare you for the journey

• avoiding dating hazards, dead ends, and obstacles along the route

• following the road rules—dating with integrity and intentionality

• seeking wisdom from seasoned travelers—inviting accountability into your dating journey

• kicking relational hitchhikers to the curb—knowing when the person you are dating isn’t the right one

With guidance tailored to the unique perspectives of both women and men, Relationship Road Map speaks to the intricate wiring in all of us, the need to consult the ultimate Instruction Manual at key junctions, and the fuel it will take to arrive safely at the destination where your heart longs to go.

An exciting journey awaits—are you ready to hit the road?

Required Relationship Reading

This book is excellent and is chock full of valuable insights on relationships and dating. I highly recommend this book and will use the knowledge moving forward.

The most practical dating advice I’ve received!

I love Union Church are their relationship series, so I knew I HAD to snatch up this book.

I’ve read so many books on dating, godly dating, marriage, and even being a wife. But this is by far the most practical books. He not only gives you very doable instructions, he gives you insight to know where you are NOW and he gives you the reasons why the advice is necessary— tying it back to holy living.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I believe it’s come at a time where I feel the most fulfilled, whole, healthy, and God-centered I’ve been in years.

This is the space I know God has been ushering me towards. This is the space where I know I’ll meet and recognize my husband. This book also came on time because I met a great guy a few weeks ago and we’re having our second date this weekend. So far, this book has affirmed that we both have been taking the right steps to remain godly in this experience. I’m so excited!

Thank you, Pastor Stephens and Zai. I know God will bring me into a marriage that reflects His love to the world.

The biblical foundation and wisdom

Great read and great wisdom! I really enjoyed this. download and read if you want to do things Gods way!

Great read!

This is my Pastor and as I listen to him every Sunday, it felt like another sermon. Although I’d like him to get off the mainline with God telling my business lol but no this was perfect and provided a lot of insight on a Christian point of view when dating. Definitely going to adhere to the advice given and will never settle for anything less than what I desire and deserve!

Practical Advice with biblical references

I really enjoyed this read as a single woman in my mid 30s I feel like this is the first time anyone has actually detailed the actions of dating from a Christian lens. I recommend it to anyone who is navigating being a single Christian who wants a Kingdom driven union and trying to figure out where to start.
