Dating and Single Life

Finding a spouse has never been easy. But, it's also never been quite so hard, especially for good Catholic girls intent on having strong Catholic marriages to nice Catholic boys.

So what are all those good Catholic girls to do? How do they navigate the increasingly long (and usually trying) years between college and "I do" without losing their sanity or their soul?

Consult The Catholic Girl's Survival Guide for the Single Years: The Nuts and Bolts of Staying Sane and Happy While Waiting for Mr. Right.

Steeped in the Church's teachings on the feminine genius, marriage, and theology of the body, The Catholic Girl's Survival Guide dishes with both wit and wisdom on some of the most pressing questions single women face: vocation, dating, sex, finances, work, depression, and more.

As hopeful and honest as it is fun and faithful, The Catholic Girl's Survival Guide for the Single Years is the perfect companion for women whose journey to "I do" is turning out to be a longer one than they (or their mothers) would have liked.

In these pages, Fr. Thomas Morrow, author of the best-selling book, Overcoming Sinful Anger, offers a practical guide to dating in a secular world.

He explores a range of dating issues including choosing Mr. or Miss Right, the four meanings of love, how to have a warm but chaste relationship, the goodness of affection, modesty, restoring the dignity of women, and how to overcome the most common problems with communication.

Today's dating scene is more complicated than ever, especially with social media, texting, and the endless pressure of the world's expectations. How can men and women overcome the interior and exterior battles and discover the love they desire?

From "Hey" to "I do" - as well as the inevitable "gray areas" along the way - Emotional Virtue offers a compelling blueprint for how to thrive in every stage of a relationship - not just survive.

Single life isn't always the unhappy lot of those who just can't seem to find a spouse. On the contrary, it can be a holy vocation within the lay state lived out, often in a hidden way, by souls who have had an authentic encounter with Christ.

Here, author Luanne Zurlo sheds light on this little-understood vocation discerned and embraced by a small but growing number of single persons who neither marry nor enter religious life.

These souls are joyfully single for a greater purpose, nourishing both the world and the Church with the unique spiritual strengths and graces that God gives to souls who deliberately remain single for Him "€" in the world but not of it.
