<transcy>The Sacred Search (Vous allez dire oui à qui ?)</transcy>
If you don't know why you are getting married, you won't know who to marry. So, you who are not yet married, do not take the plunge until you have read this book!
You don't get married just because you have feelings for each other. But what are the other criteria for choosing the right spouse? And above all, what are the relevant reasons for choosing a spouse? What if God wanted you to marry for your spiritual growth rather than your happiness? What if it wasn't about finding "the right person", but rather serving the One who loves you with infinite love?
The author challenges you to find a valuable partner - one who will accompany you on your spiritual journey. So from now on, aim to build a relationship around a common spiritual mission and place eternity at the heart of your marriage plan.

The pursuit of true love ... This is what drives so many industries and so many people. What if the purpose of dating went beyond finding "the right person"? In his book Who Are You Going to Say Yes to? , my friend Gary Thomas delves into a subject that many believe is an expert on - that of a successful marriage. He shows readers, through a bold, biblical approach, that marriage is not just about who you say yes to, but also why you do so. Are you dating someone? Are you engaged or do you hope to be one day? Then read this book!
