Relationship Rules of Engagement

By Dr. Constance Cooper

Have you ever wondered what is expected of you when it comes to dating in the Kingdom of GOD? Do you evaluate what the world says is OK and what the church says is not? We have all asked ourselves questions like, “Why can’t we live together and/or have sex before marriage? Everyone else is doing it." Well there are “rules and regulations” in the Body of Christ!
"Relationship Rules of Engagement," gives simple advice on love, relationships, and marriage so you can work out the original intention of God for your life. His design is to build kingdom relationships, for Kingdom marriages and families, for Kingdom business and wealth so you can establish God's Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.

Dr. Constance Cooper

Constance Cooper is the author of fiction and non-fiction titles. Through her books, she shares hope with a lost and dying world.

Now the single mother of four beautiful children, she is a cosmetologist, make-up artist by profession and a lover of fashion including shoes and handbags. She has earned her A.A. degree in Biblical studies, a Bachelors degree in Theology and is currently obtaining a Masters of Divinity degree.Loving God and His children, she desires to help and save the lost with a passion to make the young, as well as mature women, see how beautiful they truly are inside and out. Conscious that only God knows what will take place in her life and where He is taking her, she maintains a willingness to go. "With Christ all things are possible."Constance cherishes the time she spends with God in His Word, His Presence, and His love. Among her other passions is family, wholeness and growing in His Word together and allowing Him to direct their paths through faith. "For without faith it is impossible to please God."She desires to please Him by being transparent in order to get the lost to believe that there is still hope for them. She endeavors to give hope to a lost and dying world -- that with Jesus we all have hope, because our hope is in Him and that they will be free just like her. "For whom the Son sets free is free indeed.""Thank you Jesus for setting me free. I love you." -- Constance Cooper.

About The Author

Hello Future

Hello future

I was waiting on you

as you were being prepared for me.

Hello future

I was just as in love with you as you were with me.

Hello future

I was designed for you and you were built to suit me.

Hello future

God prepared us two to be joined eventually together

in His timing and we made it here

through all the stormy weather.

Hello future

I adored you as you beheld me.

Hello future

I laid my head on your chest waiting for your warm caress.

Hello future

It’s just us two and we will do our best to never

be judged and led by the rest.

Hello future

Let’s move forward to the goal, to the vision

with God’s plan because we both know

this was ordained by Him.

Hello future

I thank you God for us being each other’s best.

Hello future

I see you and you are all God has created you to be

His absolute best!!!
