Relationship Road Map

Step-by-Step Directions to Finding Your Spouse

About the Book

Practical, biblical guidance for every step of your relationship journey—from single to dating to engaged to married from the bestselling author of Stop Waiting for Permission.

“A helpful resource for anyone looking . . . to align their relationship with God’s heart.”—Tim Timberlake

When it comes to romantic relationships, have you ever felt like you are navigating without a GPS, broken down with no help in sight, or running on empty—miles from the nearest gas station? Has the modern dating scene left you heartsick or hopeless? If so, you’re not alone, and it’s not too late to get on the highway toward your desired destination.

In Relationship Road Map, pastor and bestselling author Stephen Chandler mines Scripture for practical applications to bring hope, healing, and redirection to your journey. Whether you’re single and searching, delving into dating, engaged, or jaded from too many bad dates, the hard-won wisdom and biblical insights within these pages will set you on a course toward a healthier, more fulfilling relational future.

As he unfolds the road map, Chandler lays out the keys to navigating your way to the altar and beyond, including the importance of

• beginning your dating journey with marriage in mind
• getting a spiritual tune-up by inviting God to prepare you for the journey
• avoiding dating hazards, dead ends, and obstacles along the route
• following the road rules—dating with integrity and intentionality
• seeking wisdom from seasoned travelers—inviting accountability into your dating journey
• kicking relational hitchhikers to the curb—knowing when the person you are dating isn’t the right one

With guidance tailored to the unique perspectives of both women and men, Relationship Road Map speaks to the intricate wiring in all of us, the need to consult the ultimate Instruction Manual at key junctions, and the fuel it will take to arrive safely at the destination where your heart longs to go.

An exciting journey awaits—are you ready to hit the road?
