Before You Date

By Stuart Chiwale

“Before You Date” is an inside look at what goes on before someone enters into marriage. The book answers the questions of what it is like to choose a marriage partner, how to maintain a pure and strong relationship bond, and how to stay true to oneself in a world where people define love relationships crookedly. The author, Stuart Chiwale, seeks to lay bare the principle and steps the youth of today have to take in order to build a film marriage base. Chiwale’s conclusions are based on real life experiences and he uses simple language to convey his message to both the youth and elderly.
