“Josh Mulvihill has done a great job of explaining dating and what a Christian marriage should look like. Parents will find thought-provoking guidance and discussion to use with their children when discussing dating, sexual issues, and marriage. Divorced parents . . . struggle to find ways to teach their children what a God-designed marriage looks like, but this book lays it out very clearly. This book will also open one's eyes as to the sinful challenges our children are facing today regarding sexual issues and what is being taught in many schools today.”

—Linda Jacobs, Divorce Care 4 Kids

“Wow! What a great book that will empower parents to have early-and-often discussions with their children about love, sex, and marriage. Josh Mulvihill has created a biblical tool that parents can use to help their kids to challenge the worldly normal that they are exposed to regularly. I will regularly commend this book to all parents and encourage them to use the Courageous Conversation sections at the end of each chapter to engage their kids in specific conversations to embed convictions in their hearts.”

—Dr. Scott Turansky, National Center for Biblical Parenting

“Josh Mulvihill has written a thought-provoking book to help parents prepare their children for marriage.  As a pastor, Josh delivers insight and experience, in addition to unpacking God’s truth in creative ways.  His “courageous conversations” or talks parents should have with their children are worth the price of the book alone.  For parents and those working with children, Josh’s book will be an excellent resource as we prepare the next generation for lifelong marriage.”

—Ken Canfield, Founder, National Center for Fathering

“Parenting is serious business. We live in a crazy, messed-up world—especially when it comes to marriage, dating, sex, and family. Satan and the demons have kicked their attacks of God’s institution of the family into high gear. Is there anything we can do to help our children reject the lies of the world and prepare themselves to follow God’s plan for manhood, womanhood, marriage, and the family? That is what Preparing Children for Marriage is all about. Let me warn you. This book is not for the faint of heart. It is real, honest, candid, and courageous. It will make you think, rattle your cage, drive you to have needed conversations with your kids, and, most importantly, cause you to dig into the Bible for a practical plan to help your children to love and follow Jesus.”
