Synopsis

The vast majority of young people pass through the four key relational phases of singleness, dating, engagement, and marriage in their twenties, yet they are delaying marriage longer than any other generation. The average age an American woman has her first child is now younger than when she first marries. More children are growing up in fatherless homes. The CDC has reported a dramatic rise in sexually transmitted diseases. Studies show a similar trend in self-reported loneliness. As technological connectivity blocks the development of deep intimacy, addiction often replaces it. How can young people navigate these troubled waters? Like a sailor on turbulent seas, they need a North Star to guide them: they need the skill set to know how to journey through life and how to select the right people to journey alongside them. Charting a course through the four key relational phases they'll face, this book provides that navigational guidance, examining what should be pursued in each relational stage and how.

Goodreads review by Mackenzie on June 19, 2019

Wow wow wow. This book (and Ben Stuart) will definitely call you to a higher place in your relationship, if you're in one, and was always, always inspired by the word of God. Ben pulled every bullet point from scripture, and I found that very refreshing. I've got a lot of work to do in myself now if......more

Goodreads review by Jackson on March 11, 2021

[5 Stars] I have read other Dating/Relationship books, but Ben Stuart really drove in the nail in a completely different way. For example, roughly every other chapter, Ben uses a case study from Scripture to illustrate one of the four main seasons that he describes (single, dating, engaged, and marri......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on February 24, 2024

This book was so full of assumptions and stereotypes that it was hard to find practical and applicable points for my life. As a single, 30-year-old woman, I understand I probably wasn't the married male author's target audience. I also knew going in three-fourths of the book would be unhelpful at th......more

3.5⭐️ This book takes a practical approach to understanding the seasons of singleness, dating, engagement, and marriage. It feels like it was written for the single desiring marriage.
