The Dating Manifesto
by Lisa AndersonYour attitudes about marriage and the path to marriage are wrong. Some you've inherited, some you've simply bought--hook, line, and sinker--and some you've made up yourself. They have translated into bad action (or no action) in dating and relationships. But it's not too late; you can break the cycle of dating dysfunction and learn to honor marriage, marry well, and live intentionally while you wait. Lisa Anderson proves it's possible.The Dating Manifesto is neither a cheesy formula for finding a spouse nor a feel-good book about how the person for you is "out there" if you only "believe."Instead, it's a challenge to wise up, own your junk, and chart a bold new course for your relationship future.
