Summary
In Love That Lasts, New York Times best-selling author Jefferson Bethke and his wife, Alyssa, expose the distorted views of love that permeate our culture and damage our hearts, minds, and souls.
Drawing from Jeff's "prodigal son" personal history and from Alyssa's "true love waits" experience, the Bethkes point to a third and better way. Blending personal storytelling with biblical teaching, they offer listeners an inspiring, realistic vision of love, dating, marriage, and sex.
Young people today enter adulthood with expectations of blissful dating followed by romantic, fulfilling marriages only to discover they've been duped. They learned about love and sexuality from social media, their friends, Disney fairy tales, pornography, or even their own rocky pasts, and they have no idea what healthy, lifelong love is supposed to be like. The results are often disastrous, with this generation becoming one of the most relationally sick, sexually addicted, and divorce-ridden in history.
Looking to God's design while drawing lessons from their own successes and failures, the Bethkes explode the fictions and falsehoods of our current moment. One by one they peel back the lies, such as the belief that every person has only one soul mate, that marriage will complete you, and that pornography and hookups are harmless.

Amazingly encouraging & wisdom giving stories
Honesty revelation of both of their lives.
Jeff & Alyssa generously, boldly share with extensive and lessons hey have learned from they were single, seeking, in a relationship, broken up and in marriage.
Many important topics were discussed and it's clear that he Bible is true, glorious, wisdom- and life-giving.
And for most, God is loving, He loves us and bless His children with many spiritual blessings.

Impactful and insightful
This book is very honest and engaging. The notion and themes talked about in the book related to me in a lot of ways. I think it speaks to the reader no matter what stage of life they are in. This book is not just about relationships but it’s about daily living as well.

Loved it :)
Loved this book, not exactly what I was expecting, as I expected it to be focused around married couples more. However I found the wisdom and Christian philosophies around love here, can be applied to anybody, which ever stage of love you're in. Got through this (audio) in a couple of days and already about to give it another run through. Both Alyssa and Jeff have done an excellent job of being relatable, friendly but wise narrators in this book. A highly recommended read <3

The True love You dreamed as a kid actually exists
Giving up on the wait after experiencing so many failures, perceived betrayals, and overall heartache? Or not interested in any pursuit of any sort? it’s weird how anyone of any age could relate and understand to some degree, but come to the same conclusion. This is hope rekindled and a fire of inspiration set alight in the heart. God sent Authors. This is one for the masses... not just the "chosen" people.
was just epic... something out of a fairy tale this book. But you really had to take it chapter by chapter to really appreciate the journey. Jeff and Alyssa don't describe their relationship as a dream, but as the reality of siblings (children of God) that just happen to be a lot more self aware of their duty and ability to give to each other.
Love doesn't give up, it isn't selfish... but in the same way unrequited love is a burden to the giver. Marriage is the covenant that destroys blurred lines, and gives life to a decision to become one in everything.

It' OK but not as detailed as I'd hoped on how relationships start, progress maintain.
