{"product_id":"data-for-data","title":"Data for Data","description":"Stop Dating on Feelings. Start Gathering Facts.\nYou've been told that if you love each other, everything will work out. You've been sold the lie that \"following your heart\" is enough.\nBut 50% of marriages end in divorce—many of them started with love, chemistry, and good intentions.\nWhat went wrong? They ignored the data.\nThe painful truth: Most people spend more time researching which car to buy than who to marry.\nThey dive into relationships based on attraction, excitement, and hope—without asking the hard questions that reveal compatibility, character, and readiness for covenant.\nThen they wonder why marriage is so hard.\nWhat if there was a better way?\nWhat if you could enter marriage with confidence instead of just hope?\nWhat if you could gather the data you need to make a wise, God-honoring decision about the most important relationship of your life?\nThat's what this book is about.\nDating for Data gives you a proven, biblical framework to evaluate relationships through three non-negotiable questions:\nTHE QUESTION OF FAITH\nIs this person truly saved? Do they hold Christ as Lord, not just Savior? Are they in church? Are they passionately pursuing God—or just maintaining?\nWithout spiritual alignment, you cannot build oneness. THE QUESTION OF FAMILY\nWhat family patterns did they inherit? Have they done the healing work to break generational cycles? Can two family systems merge—or will they collide?\nYour future spouse didn't come out of nowhere. They came from somewhere. And that somewhere shaped who they are. THE QUESTION OF FINANCE\nHow do they handle money? What's their work history? What debt are they carrying? What does their credit report reveal about their integrity?\nMoney doesn't just reveal spending habits. It reveals what someone worships, trusts, and prioritizes.\nBut this book goes beyond the three questions.\nYou'll also learn:\nHow to break soul ties from past relationships that are keeping you from bonding in marriage\nWhy physical boundaries aren't legalistic—they're protective, and how to build intimacy without touch\nThe red flags, yellow flags, and green lights in every area: faith, family, finance, work, emotional health, and purity\nWhen to engage and when to disengage—and how to make the decision with clarity, not fear\nHow to prepare for oneness through 12 essential conversations every couple must have before marriage\nHow to thrive in singleness while you wait—because your life doesn't begin when you get married\nWhy marriage is a Kingdom assignment, not just a personal relationship—and how to build something that impacts eternity\nThis is not a book about finding your soulmate.\nThis is a book about gathering the right information, making wise decisions, and building a marriage that glorifies God and lasts a lifetime.\nPerfect for:\nSingles who want to date with purpose and wisdom\nDating couples who need clarity on whether to move forward or walk away\nEngaged couples preparing for covenant marriage\nPastors and counselors looking for a comprehensive premarital resource\nParents who want to guide their children toward healthy relationships\nStop guessing. Start gathering data.\nMarriage is too important to leave to chance.\nGet the information you need. Make the decision with confidence.
