Publisher's Synopsis
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. He hopes that the book will help readers to have a healthy dating relationship now and possibly a lifelong loving marriage in the future.
"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 make it more likely that they will one day have a lifelong loving marriage. In a down-to-earth encouraging manner that young adults and teens 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 the books Straight Talk About Teen Dating and Straight Talk About Dating except that it is written with a character emphasis. (All proceeds from the sale of this book are used to help us achieve our mission of helping schools, parents, and communities model, teach, encourage, and recognize respect.) Mr. Wegert's newest book for pre-teens and teens is entitled HOW TO BECOME A STRONG PERSON AND BUILD A GOOD LIFE.
