The hope of finding someone wonderful to marry is the most
intense dream most of us ever experience. Yet the challenge seems
impossibly great for so many of us. In this compassionate and
deeply practical book, Blaine Smith offers a mountain of advice and
encouragement to those at their wits end searching for a spouse.
Drawing on decades of experience teaching and counseling singles,
he provides multiple strategies for finding a marriage partner,
including many you haven't likely thought of before. Smith writes
with a heart for the special issues Christians face in looking for
marriage. Yet anyone will find benefit in his insights and
practical advice.
Smith also looks closely at expectations, and how they can help
or quickly defeat us in our search for a mate. Friendship, he
stresses, much more than romance, is at the heart of a blissful,
healthy, enduring marriage. Grasping this time-honored principle
can simplify our marriage quest, sometimes greatly, for we
recognize possibilities we haven't considered. Smith looks
carefully at what sort of friendship works best for marriage, and
at what role romance and sexual attraction should, in fact,
play.
