Someone wrote a book that got really popular within the church called "I kissed dating goodbye", that talked about courting instead of dating.

I think this stupid idea is part of why so many Christian women are in their 30s or 40s and have barely dated, even though they wanna be married.

My husband dated basically the other way around. He'd go on one date with almost anyone, to learn and have fun and leave them better than he fund them.

Due to his many years of doing this practice, I asked him if he could write a chapter on it for our book, "How to prepare yourself for marriage", because I think it's going to help a lot of people to remove the lie that you can only go on a date with someone you already would consider marrying (courtship) and instead start going on single dates with people, to figure out what you like and what you don't like, until you meet someone who actually fits you, and you want them. You don't just want the feeling of someone liking you that you don't really know, but you know what you want, and can tell this person has it! And it's worth investing more time to find out if this is the person you'd like to spend the rest of time life with, actually!

If you're single and would like to learn great tools that will set you up, not only for dating, but for how to have an amazing marriage once you pick your spouse, consider getting our book, "How to prepare yourself for marriage,"

DM me if you want the pdf for 10 000 sats, or go through FikaTimeBooks.com if you want to pay in fiat for a different format. 😃

The “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” author was a guy named Josh Harris. He’s an interesting fellow. He wrote that book in his twenties and, even as a young man, I remember thinking it was complete nonsense. He became a darling in Christian circles though. Youth groups everywhere were reading his garbage.

A few years back, he realized that the book, and his association with Christianity was costing his marketing business customers, particularly among the pervert crowd (LBQ whatever). So he went on an apology tour, embraced the perversions he once despised, divorced his wife, and then renounced not only his book, but Christianity as a whole. It got him a few headlines for maybe a week, but he never regained that fame he once had. He once again faded into obscurity never to be heard from again.
