The Unweddables Among Us
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Always get the facts (see Romans 14: 1). One fact of special interest is that living among us are adult singles that are unable or unwilling to maintain a long-term, romantic relationship (Chapter 1). Many struggle to understand and master the twelve steps of relationship building (Chapter 2). My book provides a reasoned and realistic study of singles unable (Chapter 3), unwilling (Chapter 4), unprepared (Chapter 5), uninformed (Chapter 6), and unrealistic (Chapter 7) when it comes to the development and maintenance of romantic relationships. Facing the reality that things didn’t work out as expected, many singles turn bitter (Chapter 8). They forget that “The only thing to be done with bitterness is to put it away” on move on to a better life (Ephesians 4: 31).

About the Book
Speak up! (see 1 Peter 3:15-16; Colossians 3:16; Proverbs 31:8–9; 2 Timothy 3:16.) I am stepping up and speaking out to increase self-awareness and understanding for single men and women, divorcees, and widowers on the subject of romantic relationships.
Romantic relationships are an exciting part of life. Problems are inevitable. Relationships are hard to develop and even harder to maintain. To have a relationship, certain things must be present (see John 14:7–9). The goal in writing this book is to help adult singles understand and become more aware that:
• The single life is a good life, but it’s not always an easy life.
• Of the 100 million adult singles living in the United States, approximately 40 percent are
unweddable. Meaning in their present state, they are unable, unwilling, unprepared, uninformed, or unrealistic when it comes to maintaining a romantic relationship.
• Romantic relationships pass through twelve steps. Only 5 percent of adult singles make it through all the steps.
• Romantic relationships are not for every adult single at every point in their life. These observations lead to the question: Why? The answers are within this book.
