Dating Done Right: Pursuing Relationships on Purpose

Dating Done Right is a comprehensive guide to singleness and dating for men and women of any age or life stage. Crystal Renaud Day was inspired to write Dating Done Right shortly after she met her husband in 2017. However, Dating Done Right is the book she had always searched for as a single Christian living in the aftermath of the purity culture she grew up in. Purity culture books like "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" caused many Christian singles in the 1990's and early 2000's to have unhealthy relationships with God, religion, dating, marriage, and of course sex. Dating Done Right encourages singles to be content right where they are. This is accomplished by getting to know who they are first and discover what they want before ever entering into a new relationship. Dating Done Right is also designed to encourage dating couples to get vulnerable with each other-not to casually date or be pressured to marry fast. Instead, dating couples are encouraged to pursue relationships on purpose with marriage in mind.

In Dating Done Right, Crystal shares her own personal journey of perpetual singleness, her heartache along the way, and the joy she found both in her singleness and after meeting her husband. Comprised of relatable stories and over 500 reflection questions, individuals will learn to navigate singleness and dating with wisdom.Introduction: Dating Advice from a Non-DaterSection One: SINGLE
