Love That Lasts

How We Discovered God’s Better Way for Love, Dating, Marriage, and Sex

By: Jefferson Bethke, Alyssa Bethke

Narrated by: Jefferson Bethke, Alyssa Bethke

In Love That Lasts, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus > Religion Jefferson Bethke and his wife, Alyssa, expose the distorted views of love that permeate our culture and damage our hearts, minds, and souls.

Drawing from Jeff’s “prodigal son” personal history and from Alyssa’s “True Love Waits” experience, the Bethkes point to a third and better way. Blending personal storytelling with biblical teaching, they offer readers an inspiring, realistic vision of love, dating, marriage, and sex.

Young people today enter adulthood with expectations of blissful dating followed by a romantic, fulfilling marriage only to discover they’ve been duped. They learned about love and sexuality from social media, their friends, Disney fairy tales, pornography, or even their own rocky past, and they have no idea what healthy, lifelong love is supposed to be like. The results are often disastrous, with this generation becoming one of the most relationally sick, sexually addicted, and divorce-ridden in history.

Looking to God’s design while drawing lessons from their own successes and failures, the Bethkes explode the fictions and falsehoods of our current moment. One by one, they peel back lies such as,

• the belief that every person has only one soul mate,
• that marriage will complete you,
• and that pornography and hook-ups are harmless.

Simply Amazing

This book is well written with such an encouraging message for every season of life.

Excellent!

I've listened to this audiobook twice now, and I loved it both times! The narration is good, the points made are great, and it's a fast, engaging listen. I highly recommend this one!

A must-read for ALL couples!

I'm 69 and have been married 3 times. I'm about to get married for the last time, so I decided to listen to this book with my fiance. We both loved it! It really helped us see past mistakes in previous relationships. We had very productive conversations during the time we listened to this book. I plan to get other books by these authors. If you want to be better at relationships, this will help!

Excellent!!

Excellent book! I love the way Alyssa and Jeff constantly point to Jesus! Their openness and “realness” is so refreshing! Definitely would recommend this book!

Phenomenal book 💙

Everything about it was great. Very well written, very real and leaves me with hope in that God is in control and His ways are better than ours. God bless you Bethkes 😊
