Letters to a Romantic: On Engagement
Publisher's Description
Dear Romantic,
As you stand on the cusp of marriage, you’re probably wondering about important topics such as sex, in-law relationships, and conflict resolution. Would you guess that these same issues come up when married couples are having trouble later? So basically, expect to discuss them either proactively with your fiancé now . . . or years into your marriage when they have turned into problems!
Sean Perron and Spencer Harmon, along with their wives, Jenny and Taylor, are here to help you get these conversations started. They have written several letters to guide you through your engagement, from your proposal to your wedding night. Each one is short, practical, and relevant, and contains discussion questions to help you apply it even more personally.
God’s Word, and the guidance of mentors who can open it with you, are the best source of clarity during your engagement—and, in these letters, that’s exactly what you will find.

“In these two books on dating and engagement, Sean Perron and Spencer Harmon have given us a treasure trove of biblically based practical information for all unmarried Christians. I am very grateful to God for giving Sean and Spencer the desire and ability to write these two books. They contain information that I wish had been available for me to give to Christians as they thought about dating or engagement.

“Sean Perron and Spencer Harmon have written a very practical book for engaged couples and, perhaps just as important, for parents and pastors providing counsel and direction to engaged couples. In words that are perhaps not often used with premarital materials, here is a lot of horse sense on often neglected topics. I commend it to you.”
Douglas Wilson
Pastor, Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho
“Getting engaged is a monumental decision for your life. Therefore it is worth your careful thought before you take any action. This is the type of book that will stimulate your thinking with biblical guidance before you proceed to make such a serious commitment. We invest years of training before entering a professionwhy not take the time to carefully read this book before you commit to marriage and get engaged? We believe that carefully reading this book will biblically inform your decision.”
John D. and Janie L. Street
Authors, The Biblical Counseling Guide for Women
“Spencer Harmon and Sean Perron have blessed us with an outstanding book to help couples make the most of their engagement. I am surprised how many couples forget and fail to use their season of engagement to grow together in godliness. Harmon and Perron want to prevent such an oversight, and thus they wisely guide couples through every imaginable step of the engagement journey, providing biblically informed principles along the way. From the kind of ring to buy to preparations for the wedding night, this book is brimming with truth for one of the most critical times in the life of a couple.”
Jonathan Holmes
Pastor of Counseling, Parkside Church, Uniontown, Ohio; Author, The Company We Keep: In Search of Biblical Friendship
“Too often, we focus a ton on dating and little on engagement. But the season of engagement is an opportunity for preparation, joy, and evident holiness. In this short and readable book, Sean and Spencer walk the reader through a scripturally faithful approach to this unique season. All around us, people want nothing more than fleeting romance and a little fun. This book will help you to build something grander and greater: a six-decade marriage, a union that testifies to the world of a greater love and a greater God.”
