Publisher's summary

For anyone who is dating or thinking about marriage - practical, uncensored wisdom on avoiding mistakes in the present to help avoid issues in the future.

Single? Looking for the "right person"? Thinking that if you met the "right person" everything would turn out "right"? Think again.

In The New Rules for Love, Sex, and Dating, pastor and best-selling author Andy Stanley explores the challenges, assumptions, and land mines associated with dating in the 21st century. Not for the faint of heart, this practical and uncensored guide takes a fresh approach to dating and love in the modern era by turning the search for "the one" or "Mr./Mrs. Right" back onto the searcher themselves, challenging you to ask yourself tough questions, like:

  • Am I the person the person I'm looking for is looking for?
  • Are the Bible's teachings about women relevant today?
  • If sex is only physical, why is the pain of sexual sin so deep?

As you dig deep into your answers, you'll be equipped and empowered to step up and set a new standard for this generation by exposing the things that create trouble in dating relationships and creating better habits now that pay off when you get married.

In addition, The New Rules for Love, Sex, and Dating:

  • Unveils what God says will lead to success in dating and marriage
  • Transforms guys' ways of thinking about women
  • Reveals common myths about sex outside of marriage
  • Prepares men and women to one day say "I do" and mean it
  • ...and much more!

Also includes a four-session small-group discussion guide to be used with The New Rules for Love, Sex, and Dating video (sold separately).

Dating after divorce. ..

Almost 5 years after my divorce, I find myself at a place where where I feel ready to begin a new relationship that would lead to a lifetime commitment. There is so much wisdom and insight in this book and highly recommended to all the singles out there and even married people. I will have my high schooler listen to it and my younger son when he's older too.
Thanks pastor Andey! Like you say, I will continue to become the person, the person I'm looking for is looking for!!!

Renewing Your Mind of Dating

This completely changed my view of dating. While we are all searching for the one, we must ask ourselves if we are the one the one we're looking for is looking for.

BRAVO!!!

I'm a 54 year old male
divorced 7 years
and have a 13 year old son
This is full of great council and encouragement
This was an answer to prayer
needed something to listen to with my son regarding healthy human sexuality, and discuss it if he would like.Im planning on hitting play once we are out of sight of land
I m fairly confident he won't attempt to swim for shore
But seriously
Andy hits this topic from all angles
and with some very dry wit.
I really respect the love courage and grace it must have taken to put this on paper.,
clearly birthed out of his heathy anger at what he sees his fellow man suffering through, just my opinion

Another helpful tool in my tool box as i seek to turn from my sin so I can hopefully be a father my son can at least respect
and have a more fruitful life,unlike his fathers
though I'm hoping in GODS kindness He will restore and transform much of my past
I will be reading/listening to more of this
mans work.

An amazing journey

I was gifted this audiobook by a friend I just recently met through online dating. This book has inspired me to take a deeper look into what I know is not working for me. It is clear and concise. A direction if you will that is so simple yet comprehensive. I loved this book. November 15, 2021. I can’t wait to be a different me one year from now. :)

Food for thought

love it. Easy to understand. content on point. this should be taught to pre-teens and up age groups. life lessons early, so you won't feel regrets later..
