Want to date like you know what you’re doing? There’s a book for that!

Is your child’s future marriage as important as their future career?

We believe it’s even MORE important!

That’s why, at Future Marriage University, we equip teens and young adults to prepare for their future marriage like a successful career: intentionally, intelligently and IN ADVANCE!

And to come alongside you as parents, we’ve developed a curriculum to empower your child to grow spiritually and date wisely so they can marry well.

Come to the FMU booth and check out

DATE LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING: YOUR DATEPREP GUIDE.

A dating life that leads to a life-giving, lifelong marriage doesn’t happen by accident. You need to know what you’re doing. This book will empower your teen or young adult to:

  • Discern God’s will for their dating life.
  • Avoid heartbreak, rejection, and regret.
  • Date with clarity, confidence, and courage.
  • Win the war over sexual temptation.
  • Let their marriage hopes inspire, instead of impede their dating life.

We believe your student can accomplish all that and have a blast doing it. Buy the book and learn how!

It’s insanely practical for scoping out and assessing potential dates and a future mate, as well as a great way to assess your own maturity and relationship potential.

Though the writing style is fun, this book is filled with enough ‘zinger’ nuggets of wisdom to transform your thinking about how to date.

Gary ThomasAuthor of Sacred Marriage and The Sacred Search

This is a Christian dating book void of legalism and full of practical, spirit-filled ways to date with wisdom. Coupled with Michael’s great sense of humor, I found it almost impossible to put down. (Danya says far more in the video below.)
