DALLAS, June 14, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Early marriage might not be a problem; instead, it might just be a solution. In Young and in Love (David C Cook), Pastor Ted Cunningham boldly suggests that early marriage is not as harmful as many believe and even offers the solution to staying sexually pure. He guides young adults through the arguments against early marriage and then reveals the secrets to creating a healthy, successful, and life-long relationship in early adulthood.
Young men and women fall in love. They develop intense desires to be with one another emotionally, relationally, and, yes, sexually. Cunningham validates this budding relationship and chases the foxes that seek to delay or destroy the bud before it can turn into a blossoming marriage (Song of Solomon 2:15). He praises this budding love, calling family and friends to recognize it with a wedding, and challenges all unnecessary delays to marrying in one's early twenties.
Developing a godly relationship can be hard when you fall in love at a young age. Few people offer support. Many doubt your love is real. It seems almost everyone -- your friends, your parents, even your church -- thinks you are much too young for marriage. You're not ready. But maybe that's not true. Cunningham explains where the arguments against young marriage often go wrong. Then he offers wisdom on how to know if you are making the right choice including the Four C's: Character, Chemistry, Competency, and Calling. He'll help readers understand what it takes to be ready for marriage. And along the way he'll show that the answer to staying pure might be to prepare for marriage. Because it's often easier to say, "Let's wait" when "I do" isn't so far away.
According to Cunningham, "Ultimately, Young and in Love honors marriage and encourages marriages in the making. This is not another purity book teaching you how to suppress any and all feelings of love. I want you to express your love and then enjoy marriage. So if you kissed dating goodbye, it's time to say hello! If you have kept true love waiting, I tell you now, wait no more. Get married!"
