Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace & Truth: Say what you mean and mean it!

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace and Truth is Felicia Smith's powerful meditation on what it takes to embark on a meaningful and God-filled relationship. The twenty-first century and modern American life present us with false visions of the "right way" to pursue love, lust, and marriage. Smith's book, based in Biblical exegesis and psychological research, offers a corrective to these narrow and misguided notions. Written with both male and female readers in mind, Speak Now encourages lovers of both sexes to speak with one another, to ask questions, and-most importantly-to get the answers we all deserve before bonding ourselves with another for life. The book provides outlines of what to look for in conversations with love interests and offers scripts for the types of questions potential lovers should ask of both themselves and each other. In directing readers to consider many of the elements relevant to crafting a successful relationship, Speak Now is an opportunity for readers to reflect on and recommit to making themselves, their partners, and their love relationships stronger.

With specific chapters on avoiding "raggedy relationships," on how to date in the era of social media, on how the pandemic has changed dating forever, and on how to bring blended families together harmoniously, Speak Now presents a timely and comprehensive overview of how to achieve and maintain that most sacred of communions: the covenant of marriage.
