Dedication
I dedicate this book to two sets of people: Teens that have resolved thus… Even though others may, I will not.
& Singles that wants to get Mr/Miss Right, in the most legitimate way.
Acknowledgement
I acknowledge God, who has provided sufficient grace, courage and stamina to have wonderful teen years. With my Friend and Master - Jesus Christ, we walked hand in hand all through college and higher institution. He guarded me, guided my actions, and decisions all the way. Rolling back the curtains of memory, I have no regrets at all.
I really want to express an unalloyed gratitude to my
‘HUSBANDMAN’, my HEARTBEAT, my SUPPORT SYSTEM
and my very SIGNIFICANT OTHER, whose love for me is immeasurable also by the grace of God, spent his teenage and single years well.
He was the one who had to put up with me. That he did so with love, patience and encouragement instead of complaining when I get hold of my pen in a solitary confinement, is a testament to the fact that he is, in fact, the best person I know.
I love him more than I can actually express in words, and I’m every day genuinely amazed I get to spend my life with him. I try to let him know how much I appreciate him, as often as I can. This is me letting the rest of you know, too. You have this book because of him. Thank you, baby; for our good matrimonial home, and for planting the seeds of actions and manners in me; hard work and diligence, which I am reaping now.
I appreciate my parents, who raised and trained me in the way of the Lord; my mum, for her firmness, advice, prayers and friendship. My dad, for his disciplined guidance, love and care.
You both worked hard on your four children; instilling discipline and the fear of God in us. You have started reaping, and by God’s special grace, you will live long to see us achieve greater things.
Amen! I cannot forget Elder Yohanna Samari, who mentored me as an Author; Madam Tabitha Agabi and the Architect Adedokun family, in Lafia, Nasarawa state. They all pioneered my dream and calling. I am highly indebted to Bimbola-Tayo Bamidele of Illumination Academy, Abuja, for taking time to read and write the foreword.
To you Oluwabusayo Dorothy-adegun for editing this piece despite motherhood and career responsibilities and Ogundokun Temitope Gbemisola - The Valiant Writer as the Chief Editor and proofreader by putting your unique touch on this book. I sure would work with both of you, over and over again.
To my dear readers, for you to have found this book worth reading and would recommend it to friends and families, I say a huge thank you! God bless you all, amen.

FOREWORD
When I got the manuscript of this book, I had no doubt that I had before me one of the most effective tools, which would be instrumental for the correction of the misconceptions about premarital relationships in this contemporary.
It wasn’t a surprise to me; therefore, as I read through, I found how it well addresses every aspect of the life of growing youths, answering even their unasked or rarely asked questions; covering every sphere of their lives, ranging from financial to mental; social to spiritual; and academic to psychological.
Rachel Ogunsanwo has done a marvelous job in this book and I have no doubt that this subject has been thoroughly done justice to here. Her emphasis on the part parents have to play in how their youths turn out is phenomenal. Her mention of the need for adequate and all-round preparation for life and marriage, by the growing youth is practical. Her use of plain and simple language that anyone would easily understand makes the book a real treasure that must be seated in every library and book stores.
How about her deep understanding of stages the youth undergoes and the attendant challenges of each stage?
How about how she goes about expressing the need for parents to catch them young and not only that, coupling it with methods and ways to do so? How about the ways she has enumerated for the single to position themselves for future rest, by first being right before considering choosing right? How about the mention of the need for spiritual accountability and why it is essential? How about the place of intentional living and wise choice of association she encourages? The icing on the cake is the mind-shifting and thought-provoking quotes she ended the book with and the purposeful, specific, intentional and scripture-based prayers at the end, too. The book is a real treasure chest for singles of all ages and culture. It is my belief that no single will go wrong, if they follow the guidelines the author has given them here.
I recommend this book to every youth who aspires a great future and of course, a healthy future home.
I recommend it to all parents, who wants their kids to grow and become a pride to them.
I recommend it to everyone, who works with the youth or intends to.
I recommend it to you, who hold it in your hands right
