Book Cover & Preview Text
We live in a day and age where people are so quick to jump ship at the first sign of trouble. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not saying ignore the red flags however think for a minute ask yourself is this something that we can work on? Is this baggage that I’m going to carry? We all have our baggage, let’s face it nobody’s perfect, however we all have a choice in the matter. We have a choice whether we are willing to hang in there when times get difficult. There comes a time in every relationship where things get real, a time where you find yourself questioning everything that goes on in the relationship. You begin to ask yourself, is this something serious? Can I really see myself with this person in the future? Believe it or not this is the point where most relationships are broken, even before a physical breakup there’s a mental break up that happens. There’s a point that men and women find themselves asking the same questions, Is this serious? Is this someone I could see myself building a future with? Interesting enough, this is often the place in the relationship where men do something faulty and women start pushing a man away by way of pressuring him to commit. We are often times tested in our relationships, not realizing that, a test is really all it is. We all are familiar with the obvious things we are tested with inside a relationship, those that we spark and those things that are sparked from outside sources. Cheating, lying, not getting along, having nothing in common to keep each other interested are among some of the top obvious reasons why many breakups are caused. For a moment, lets think about some of the others that often times get put on the back burner as reasons why people breakup.

About the Book
The journey to find love isn’t easy for any man, or woman for that fact. While there are still those who find love, many are still standing in their own way of experiencing true love. We, as people, are afraid of the unknown, especially us men. It’s human nature for us to be afraid of what we can’t see, that which we’ve never experienced, but to find or gain something you’ve never had, you must be willing to take the risk. Life has taught me to be patient when searching for love and someone to love. In a world where people want everything fast, quick, and easy, I believe that the more precious the gift, the more time and effort it takes to obtain and receive it. Ladies, it’s my hope that by the end of this book you will have a better understanding of what to look out for when considering a husband, mate, a partner. Gentlemen, I hope that you will be challenged to become your best self. If you’re not walking in the light of what a gentleman represents, then you’ll want to begin doing so. I hope that in my pain you find wisdom as I have. No, it’s not easy, but I believe when you find the right one, it’ll be worth it. Trust the process.
