What if almost everything you’ve heard about dating and relationships is wrong?

What if it’s really not about techniques or methodologies that promise success in finding that special someone?

Are you tired of the dominant dating culture where people are considered disposable?

Disposable explains that culture, which is based on selfishness, and draws a stark contrast between the selfishness of dating and the love called for by the great commandments, in particular, the commandment to love our neighbor. Disposable shows that these commandments would have us make friendship the basis of our relationships, including romantic ones. A historical review of marriage-minded relationships includes a discussion of how dating arose, how it evolved, and how friendship got shortchanged in the process. Practical suggestions are made for singles, and everyone is encouraged to embrace friendship—rather than selfishness—as the better basis for relationships. Thought-provoking questions are presented at the end of each chapter, which can be used for individual reflection and/or group discussion.

Disposable will challenge your thinking about dating and give you a heart-check on what really counts in relationships.

Disposable is suitable for younger adults trying to understand the dominant dating culture as well as for older adults trying to make sense of their past.
