Read by the author.

God gives us purpose in each relational season we experience: singleness, dating, engagement, and marriage. Discover how to thrive in each one in the updated edition of the bestselling Single, Dating, Engaged, Married, now with a new chapter.

In a society where everyone is supposedly more connected, why do more people than ever feel so lonely? Even as marriage rates decline, studies show that most single adults still hope to get married. But how can we navigate life and love in this disconnected culture? Has social media eroded the institutions that brought us together—and the deeper emotional intimacy they provided?

Pastor and author Ben Stuart guides you in navigating the four stages of a relational life and embracing the intentions and truths God has established for each one. This updated edition includes an additional chapter on how to end dating relationships well.

As you embark on this journey, you will discover how to:

• Leverage singleness to make an impact for the kingdom of God
• Pursue dating with clarity and purity
• Break up in a healthy and respectful way
• Use the season of engagement wisely to prepare for marriage
• Maximize your life as a married couple for shared mission
• Continually seek God and His will throughout each stage

Discover how to embrace God's design, invest your life in what matters most, and find meaning in whatever season of life you're in.

Practical book on how we should navigate love

Great book, great reading of the recording. I wish I would have had this book when I was young, no one tells you how to date.

The road to mission oriented and sustainable marriage

This book gives me a clear path from spiritually-devoted singleness, confession-free dating, engagement with specific topics to discuss, to great examples and advice of biblical grounded marriage, where wives submit to their own husbands, and husbands sacrificially love their wives. Thank you! May this book bless more God-fearing young men and women.

Practical and Insightful

Pastor Ben’s logic flows naturally and in a way that makes sense to the common person. I hope this book is widely distributed and utilized!

Best book I have read on the journey from beginning single to married.

Best book I have ever read on the journey of singleness to marriage. It's inspirational and fuels ones desire to serve God with all your heart in wherever you are on your path.
