The Relationship Seasons Navigating the 5 Stages of Relationships

Whether we're seeking a romantic relationship, involved in one already, or trying to guide our children through the dating years, navigating relationships can be challenging. We often think that relationships just "happen" to us and that they will just work out or not, no matter what we do. But there is a better way. Through His prophets and apostles, the Lord has provided us with guidelines for our relationships. With such inspired counsel in mind, Matthew Richardson outlines five relationship seasons, each with its purpose, principles, and practices. These seasons include fellowshipping, dating, courting, engagement, and marriage. When we understand each season's purpose and then follow its proscribed principles and practices, our relationships will be far more successful.
