Foreword

Great relationships don’t just happen; they are a product of wise and deliberate actions. The courtship period is a time to lay solid foundations for a successful marriage. Just like all relationships, courtship has its own set of challenges which means it is necessary to understand how it works and what steps to take in resolving issues when they occur.

I have gone through this book and I must say that it is a splendid treatise on the subject. It is not only very spiritually sound but also very practical in its approach. I recommend it to singles and all youths who seek wise direction on purposeful, dynamic, and gainful courtship.

Over the years, Tunde Abiola has shown his passion for young people and the issues that are central to them. It was in recognition of this grace that he was ordained as a Pastor and youth minister in Christ Way Ministry International in the year 2009. I have no reservations in endorsing this work, or his ministry. Thank you.

Pastor (Dr.) Odun Orioke (G.O., Christ Way Ministries).

Introduction

WHY THIS BOOK?

I had the privilege of preparing an outline to teach some singles attending a family life workshop around May 2012. The topic given to me was "what to do when your relationship is not going well". I came up with a three-page material and kept the soft copy for future use and reference. Two years down the line, my wife was working on my laptop in the living room when she stumbled on this same write-up. She was so impressed by what she saw that she immediately came over to the bedroom where I was and gave me a small pep talk on why she felt I needed to do more in utilizing my gift in reaching out to young people. A few weeks after this conversation, I was on my way to work when an idea struck me that I could develop the three-page outline into a complete book. I had peace with this thought and felt strongly that the book would go a long way in helping singles to properly position themselves for successful relationships and ultimately, for happy and fulfilling marriages.
