The concept in this book was born out of over 25 years of experience working with couples. Many couples said they saw red flags while dating but thought things would get better and change once they got married. Being in love blinded their eyes (or better judgment) of how marriage only intensifies those red flag issues. There is a real need for an understanding of what the dating and courtship experience is all about. We do more research when buying a car than we do in choosing a lifetime partner. "Look Before You Leap" is a simple and easy to understand guide to help single men and women know the different phases of dating so that they can make the best possible choice for their mate. You'll never look at dating the same. Regina Stafford has written a practical book on dating that is based on her experience with her husband Thomas, as well as much time spent counseling couples in our local church. She has seen firsthand the heartbreak and devastation that takes place when people mimic the world instead of the bible as their guide for healthy relationships. I especially pray that young people would embrace these principles! Dr. Joseph G.
