For over two decades, I have been deeply intrigued with women’s experiences in unhealthy romantic relationships. This subject lingered in my mind and would not leave my spirit. In the many conversations I’ve had with women over the years, ninety percent of them openly shared their experiences of hurt, unfulfillment, dishonor, feeling unloved, unappreciated, or betrayed. This book was written for individuals who are facing or have faced unhealthy challenges in relationships and desire better. Newcomers to dating can also gain valuable tips and insight from this book. My heart’s desire is to offer hope, clarity, and understanding to women who are ready to transform their dating experiences from negative to positive.

 

After hearing a guest speaker at my church explain that your purpose is something you either love or hate, I had an epiphany! Having experienced my share of unfulfillment in relationships and witnessing others with the same ordeals, I realized that the guest speaker’s comment was the spark that ignited the flame for my God-given purpose and task. My interest turned to passion as I believe that God had allowed me to experience and overcome some difficult circumstances to inspire women to claim, reclaim or regulate their lives and relationships through Him. I then started a women’s connection group that gained the attention of about twenty women, which all needed to address core issues. Through this group, the stories, details, and tears flooded in. I observed issues in many of their relationships that I knew could be resolved. During one group session, a lady asked me, “What did you do differently?” You see, to her, I appeared to have it all together.
