This book is right on time! It is good to know that I am not the only person that has felt this way and that there is hope out there. The book provides awesome insight from both the male and female perspectives. It is a must read for those who are thinking about marriage and those that may be on their way to the altar.

Candor, sincerity, and openness is the platform used by Oshebar and Ebonie to explicate the proper Biblical blueprint for marriage preparation. Their journey of peaks and valleys throughout this process is delineated in a way that demonstrates the results of trusting the indispensable power of God for direction and clarity in every area of our life. With marriage being so essential to God's plan for his manifested glory here on earth, this book is a must read for every believer and will be invaluable throughout eternity.

I believe that this is a awesome book for a couple to read before embarking on a martial journey. I am sure that most of us can relate to Hardmans' testimony about their lives before, leading up to, and during marriage. It has inspired me in my relationship with God and my girlfriend, and has given me insight on getting married.

This book is an awesome story that will inspire others to take a chance on God and see what he can do for you if you let him. I enjoyed watching the story unfold in real life... May God Bless all who are touched by the story and may He continue to bless both of you and your family.

Pastor and Mrs. Hardman have allowed us a most personal glimpse into the journey that they took in the course of getting to the place where God could use them for His purposes. It's an open, honest testimony that will appeal to youth and young adults, who are turned off by the superficiality that we find in most spiritual interactions. While marriage is a focal point, the book speaks to a number of other topics that we all should be working on, whether married or single. An excellent project that should yield much fruit.

The detailed stories of their lives, experiences, and love make this book an easy, entertaining and overall excellent read. Their Christian growth and the biblical scriptures used to support their foundation makes this book a solid testimony to all who need encouragement.

I enjoyed the book! First Lady you really opened my eyes about a Christian woman's viewpoint and attitude on marriage and wants in a husband.  Pastor you really reaffirmed somethings in me man to man that I knew and somethings that I am seeking and waiting for God to reveal to me and the path I need to take to get there.  I also appreciate the candidness in sharing the triumphs and failures along the way.  I praise God that He used the Holy Spirit to guide you both in writing the book about such an important subject as marriage.

Preparing for Marriage God's way gave me confirmation for my life and all that I have been going through. This book was right on time for the point I am at in my life. I was not only blessed by the life story itself but the way God used his two children. My prayer is that the Hardman's prosper in everything thing they set there hands to do in Jesus Name!

The book is phenomenal!!! I recommend everyone reads this book, single, those in a relationship, those that are thinking about marriage, and even those that are married. Not only do you get to see it from a female's perspective but that of a male's as well. I'm sure everyone can relate. Oshe & Ebonie you've really made and impact on my life and I know you will for others as well. Having the opportunity to read this book happened during the stage in which I'm at in my life was right on time and gives me confirmation and faith. I thank God for you two and may he continue to bless you to bless others.

I have to start off by saying wow! I recieved the book in the mail on Thursday and I was thinking that I would read maybe a chapter at a time each day but I was so intrigued by the book until I looked up 2.5hrs later and I had read the WHOLE book! Yes, me read a whole book in a day! It was so cool to follow along and hear both sides simultaneously and see how God's plan allowed Oshe and Ebone to meet at a time in which they were ready. I was so blessed by this book because of it's sincerity and how transparent both Oshe and Ebone were in telling their story. That's what we need....people to be real when it comes to the frustrations we have, the setbacks, the highs and the lows. Afterall, they mold us and gives us a story to tell. Thanks Oshe and Ebone for sharing your story with the world.

I finished your book today, and all I can say is "Beautiful." I loved the format you and your husband wrote the book in. It was a sweet, honest, real testimony about giving it all to God. That's what I did with my husband. I was so upset about the men I chose or the men who chose me that I finally said, "OK, God. You pick him." He chose Stephen for me, and life has never been the same since. I love, love, love you and Oshebar's story. Keep telling it and blessing people with it. So glad to have met you!

Wonderful book! I could not stop reading it. It displays real experiences, thoughts and feelings of a single person who is in waiting. I applaud First Lady on her realness. I was glad to know what and how a man who is single thinks and go through (a Godly man). Thanks for the guidance and continue to let God use you all to be a Blessing to others.
But God!

Awesome Book!!!!Im at a lost of words after reading this book. It was such an inspiration to me. As a single mom of 2 beautiful girls this book has been a blessing for me. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. I almost gave up. As a christian woman, im often judged by my circumstance instead of my charter. This book gave the strength to press on.

This book belongs somewhere in sight, not on a shelf where it can be forgotten about after being read! Your testimony has taught me to hold on. When you know how God wants you "date" and you dont believe someone out there believes the same, HOLD ON. Have more faith. I enjoyed this book.
