Your child wants to date? What could go wrong?
I mean besides everything.
But what is your child really risking? Other than heartbreak, rejection, and regret.
Well… it’s not like people end up paying therapists $200/hour to figure out what went wrong in their love life.
Oh wait. They do. And those $200 bills begin to add up!
That’s why I wrote the book and video curriculum, Date Like You Know What You’re Doing: Your DatePrep Guide. It just might be the best and most researched book you’re ever going to find on dating. That’s what college ministry leader, Adam Dixon, had to say after he and his wife read the book.
They ought to know, as they’ve been counseling college lovebirds for over 30 years. Check out his testimony below.
But then perhaps you wonder if it’s too early to give your child a book on dating. Of course, you know your child like no one else, but I urge you to consider that…
While your child may not be ready to embark on the adventure of dating, they might be ready to begin preparing for that journey.
Before You Let Your Child Date
While most parents hope their teens will wind up happily married, many will discourage them from dating.
At least until after college. And often until their child is established in their career.
And this makes a lot of sense. They can’t even get a driver’s license until they’re 16. When will they ever be ready for a marriage license, right?
Some even jokingly (or maybe seriously) will say things like, “My child isn’t allowed to date until their 30s.”
But instead of simply discouraging (or forbidding) dating, what about equipping your child to actually thrive in their dating life?
After all, driver’s licenses aren’t just passed out to every 16-year-old. One must first demonstrate comprehension of essential rules of the road and command of requisite driving skills.
But, in contrast, a marriage license is a simple contract (like a car title) and obtained without any education or experience at all. This is why so many marriages end up in the ditch.
Of course there’s premarital counseling, but that’s usually too little too late. Even programs with significant scope and depth, deliver too much… too late. And since most premarital counseling only occurs when the wedding is weeks away, and nonrefundable deposits have already been paid out to venue, caterer, and the confetti cannon guy, it’s frequently too much… much too late.
Oh… and in case you haven’t heard, fewer and fewer are marrying at all anymore. Because the path to marriage today is clouded by sexual brokenness, unrealistic expectations, confusion, and fear. But…
What if there were a curriculum designed to set your child up for a dating life more likely to lead to a life-giving, lifelong marriage?
Well there is such a curriculum!
- Developed over the course of 20 years of researching, writing, and teaching, from God’s word, logic, and science
- Delivering practical, Biblical answers to your child’s questions about sex, dating, and relationships
- Empowering them to date with clarity, confidence, and courage on their journey to marriage
You can equip your child to prepare for their future marriage like a successful career: intentionally, intelligently, and IN ADVANCE!
Even if your child is:
- Already dating
- Broken-up and brokenhearted
- Divorced
- Convinced they want to become an eunuch
