Single, Dating, Engaged, Married

Navigating Life and Love in the Modern Age

By: Ben Stuart

Narrated by: Ben Stuart

Read by the author.

God gives us purpose in each relational season we experience: singleness, dating, engagement, and marriage. Discover how to thrive in each one in the updated edition of the bestselling Single, Dating, Engaged, Married, now with a new chapter.

In a society where everyone is supposedly more connected, why do more people than ever feel so lonely? Even as marriage rates decline, studies show that most single adults still hope to get married. But how can we navigate life and love in this disconnected culture? Has social media eroded the institutions that brought us together—and the deeper emotional intimacy they provided?

Pastor and author Ben Stuart guides you in navigating the four stages of a relational life and embracing the intentions and truths God has established for each one. This updated edition includes an additional chapter on how to end dating relationships well.

As you embark on this journey, you will discover how to:

• Leverage singleness to make an impact for the kingdom of God
• Pursue dating with clarity and purity
• Break up in a healthy and respectful way
• Use the season of engagement wisely to prepare for marriage
• Maximize your life as a married couple for shared mission
• Continually seek God and His will throughout each stage

Discover how to embrace God's design, invest your life in what matters most, and find meaning in whatever season of life you're in.

Excellent!

Needed clarity, found it ♥️

This book gives so much clarity on God’s view of relationships; it explains in great detail what we should look for and avoid in a partner. Must read (and probably re-read).
