by James Wegert (Author)
Written by a school counselor who partially messed up his life and who has seen so many people do the same through making bad dating choices, True Love Lasts communicates crucial information that readers need to know in order to avoid a broken heart and to make it more likely that they will one day have a lifelong loving marriage. In a down-to-earth encouraging manner that teens and young adults can relate to, Wegert gives suggestions about how to prepare for dating by putting in the effort to become a strong person, how to attract a strong person, how to have a healthy dating relationship, how to decide whether or not to continue in a dating relationship, the big difference between having the feeling of being "in love" and true love, how to make a good marriage decision someday, and much more. This book is similar to his other books, Straight Talk About Teen Dating and Straight Talk About Dating, except that it is written with a character emphasis.
Here's another description of True Love Lasts: Unfortunately, in today's world it's very difficult to find a strong person to date who has good character, a positive attitude, is responsible, is a hard worker, and has self-control. Millions of teens and young adults are looking for true love in all the wrong places and they make their dating choices mainly based upon on looks and feelings. The massive amount of broken hearts, the number of abusive dating relationships, the large amount of unhappiness in marriage and the high divorce rate are evidence that many teens and young adults don't have enough good information about dating before they start dating and during dating. Due to this lack of good information, they often make bad dating choices - and sometimes these choices affect them negatively for the rest of their lives. Mr. Wegert wrote True Love Lasts to provide readers with information and suggestions that they need in order to maximize the possibility that they will have a healthy dating relationship based upon mutual respect. He tried to pack as much useful information as possible into the book because as a school counselor he couldn't just sit back anymore and watch people damage up their lives without trying to do something about it. The author hopes that the book will help readers to have a healthy dating relationship now and possibly a lifelong loving marriage in the future.
Mr. Wegert's latest book for students, young adults, and parents, HOW TO BECOME A STRONG PERSON AND BUILD A GOOD LIFE, includes a more detailed explanation of the five attributes (tools) of a strong person and how a person can use the tools to build a good life. The book is brought to life by the author sharing over seventy true short stories about when he and others have made bad choices (with the hope that the book will help readers to avoid the same ones).
