In the revised edition of his hit book The Sacred Search, author Gary Thomas helps single people of all ages make wise marital choices, in large part by rethinking what basis those choices should be made on. Listeners are encouraged to think beyond finding their “soul mate", an idea that has its roots in the philosophy of Plato, and instead adopt a more biblical search for a “sole mate” - someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey.

Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy. Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Love and Respect is for anyone.

When you really care about someone, it’s easy to get stuck in painful, even destructive patterns - caving in to a spouse’s manipulation, ignoring a live-at-home son’s irresponsibility, not confronting a friend’s addiction. We excuse people again and again, and then kick ourselves for not setting better boundaries. But this important audiobook, with its transformational tools from leading Christian counselor Tim Clinton and noted author Pat Springle, will guide you in not only breaking through to better relationships but making big changes for the better.

Wish I would have had this book in my younger years. I am learning,g why I am still single at 47 years old. But, its never too late to learn!

Required Listening
This is a very good book I'd recommend to anyone who is serious about dating. Even though this book is only 16 years old information here is still relevant and applicable. I thoroughly enjoyed the content and Jonathan Petersen did an excellent job in narrating. I did chuckle every time he pronounced the word, "God" ^^

Should you “Kiss Dating Goodbye”? Nope!
I will recommend this book to all my maturing dating friends (the immature ones would never read it anyway). I didn’t realize until listening that this book is basically a response to part of the confusion caused by Joshua Harris’s “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” - and how Christian’s for many years took his words of killing off dating as gospel and tried to figure out whatever in the world that mythological ‘courting’ thing was. Sure, dating is a mess in the church because everyone has a different definition - but this book helps set some very mature and wise guidance on why we should date, it’s purpose, and how to navigate a number of very sticky situations we find ourselves in our relationships. It follows the logic that our main job from God is to grow in character and realize that we can’t do it ourselves - we need God and Jesus’s sacrifice. And dating is a fantastic way to grow - because good boundaries are some of the highest ‘relational’ fruit in growing Godly character.

A good smack in the face for me
This book answered all my dating questions and more. It answered questions about previous relationships and insecurities. The amount of detail and scenarios given speak clearly to me and I absolutely loved the book start to finish. I have already recommended the book when I was halfway done to several people and I plan to only do so more. Struggling in a relationship? Struggling to find a relationship? Struggling to love yourself and know your worth? Don't know what to look for? This is the book for you.

SELF IMPROVEMENT AND SELF PROTECTION
Author provides excellent information for self improvement in setting boundaries in communication, basic respect, sexual involvement, and other interactions from both sides-self improvement and for self protection. The use of multiple short and specific common real relationship situations are very beneficial in helping apply information provided.
There is very good advise given as to how to manage various degrees of boundary violations, as well as when and how to express one's self to the violators so as to mutually improve relationships, and how to identify when a relationship needs to be terminated or put on hold.
Each chapter has EXCELLENT "take away" summary points at the end. I would highly recommend reading these first for each chapter and then start reading each chapter so that the reader's mindset is better focused on chapter information. These also make very good refresher sections for future reference as better boundaries are implemented and personal skills are developed.
I didn't expect the biblical references that are included to enhance the topics being discussed, and in no way did I feel that they were offensive or distracted from the subject matter.
Since setting boundaries can be an ongoing self improvement, I would highly recommend owning a print copy of this book as the audio version at this time does not allow for "take away" chapter sections to be specifically identified.
Audio narrator is excellent!
Enjoy!
