True Love Lasts

A guide to healthy relationships for teens and young adults

"If you want to have a healthy dating relationship based upon respect now or in the future, this is possibly the most valuable book that you will ever purchase." Written by a school counselor who partially messed up his life by making bad dating choices and who has seen so many people mess up their lives by making similar choices, True Love Lasts communicates important information about a strong approach to dating. The approach suggested is an alternative to the devastating self-centered approach to dating promoted by our popular culture in which dating choices are made mainly based upon liking someone, feelings, and looks. In a down-to-earth way that teens and young adults can relate to, Wegert explains how to prepare for dating by becoming the type of person that you should date (a strong person with the traits of character, attitude, responsibility, effort, and self-control), when and who to date, how to attract a strong person, how to do dating right, how to decide whether or not to continue in a dating relationship, the big difference between having the feeling of being "in love" and true love, how to make a good marriage decision in the future, and more. The author shares in each of the twenty-four chapters something he wishes he'd known before dating and during dating - with the hope of helping people to avoid a broken heart or worse and to possibly one day have a lifelong loving marriage. (This book is similar to the books Straight Talk About Teen Dating and Straight Talk About Dating except that it is written with a character emphasis instead of a Christian emphasis.) Mr. Wegert's new book for pre-teens and teens is entitled, HOW TO BECOME A STRONG PERSON AND BUILD A GOOD LIFE.) Your purchase of this book helps the True Love Lasts organization to achieve its mission "To strengthen our society by helping to increase the number of lifelong loving marriages through education."
