About this listen
"Your love life needs this book." (Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, New York Times best-selling authors of Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts)
"True Love Dates blends the wisdom of a counselor with the sage experience of a woman who has made a wise marital choice" (Gary Thomas, best-selling author of The Sacred Marriage and Sacred Search)
Are you ready for a book that will revolutionize your love life? True Love Dates is the book that world-renown New York Times best-selling authors and relationship experts Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott have claimed to be exactly what "your love life needs".
Relationships are hard, aren't they? But what if they were never intended to be this difficult? In True Love Dates, professional counselor Debra Fileta encourages singles not to "kiss dating goodbye" but instead offers a new approach to dating by encouraging listeners to approach relationships in a way that is psychologically sound, emotionally healthy, and rooted in faith.
What it comes down to is that healthy people make for healthy relationships. We often complicate that by entering relationships with our past baggage and preconceived ideas of what it means to find "the one". But the good news is that it is possible to find love in a way that honors both God and the opposite sex.
Debra Fileta simplifies this process by offering a "3-stage approach" to finding true love by "dating inward", "outward", and "upward". She draws on her personal life and her experience as a professional counselor and provides a practical approach to finding and keeping a healthy relationship - but most importantly, to becoming healthy yourself.
It's a book that is transforming lives and relationships. Why not see for yourself?

Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy. Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Love and Respect is for anyone.

Everyone wants to be loved - to find someone who will stick with them through all of life's ups and downs, someone who is in it for the long haul. But in a world where dating is increasingly based on split-second decisions and geared toward casual relationships rather than marriage, it's easy for single people to feel discouraged, used, or unworthy of true love. Jonathan "JP" Pokluda wants to dispel the myths, misconceptions, and fairy tales you've believed about dating and replace them with the truth from the One who invented marriage and created you to crave a relationship.

I enjoyed this book.
This is one of the best Christian dating books I've ever read/listened too. Narration was excellent. I especially liked the Spirit of love in Debra's delivery and her faithfulness to Christan principles in her overall presentation. The Christian wisdom needed to receive true love is in this book. As a single man who is at peace with my singleness, I truly enjoyed this book.

This is an excellent book to gain perspective.
The author truly helped me gain clarity in my transition to dating again. As I transitioned out of a long and difficult marriage, it provided the many questions I needed to ask myself to obtain focus and perspective before I jumped back into the dating pool. Often people date for the wrong reasons and they don’t even know it and that contributes to more toxic relationships. This book arms the reader with enough knowledge to avoid pitfalls in future relationships and guides them how to put their heart right so that they can be in a good place to start over again.
