About this ebook

Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More.

Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now.

If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

There is so much power in God's word. God has changed my perspective and deposited His wisdom about dating and marriage. I'm forever greatful that I've been able to read and be challenged by this book. Thank you Marshall Segal for humbling yourself and allowing for God to use you to spread his word about the life He so painfully died for us to have. I pray that many will encounter this book and be forever challenged to look to and live for Christ.

Really great book, grounded in Scripture and filled with moments of genuine vulnerability. I know it has helped me better understand God's plan for marriage and above all reminded me to trust in Him.

This should be an encouragement for everyone that reads it. It points back to Christ at every opportunity. Make sure you take some time to think and pray about it as you go.
