Excerpt:

"You could marry me." 

George Devereaux looks at me like I've suggested we change our identities, move to Siberia, and take up goat herding. "You're not serious. Why would you want to marry me?" 

"If it's not you, it wouldn't be anyone." As I scramble for words, my usual snappy comebacks fail me. "I mean, I didn't mean it like that. I just don't think I would want to get married ever. So I might as well marry you." 

His expression of blank confusion shows a frisson of hurt before resuming its impassive state. 

"You really know how to romance a man," he says softly. "Prepare to be disappointed every day of your life." 

I don't know how to tell him that I already do. "It's on, then."

-

Georgia Philips: Reckless. Eccentric. Guarded. The 24-year-old model doesn't think there's a perfect man for her, and not just because of her high standards. But when George Devereaux comes crashing back into her life as a guest lecturer for her art history class, all bets are off. 

George Devereaux: Moody. Rebellious. Passionate. The artist always been a drifter, but when he decides to put down roots in New York, his American visa expires. He can either fake a marriage-or get a job. 

Neither of them is looking for romance. What they find instead is a far greater love than either could have on their own-the love of God.

SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE And Develop A Lifelong Love by odc888

The Bible says: Choose faithfulness; divorce is not an option. "Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage." Hebrews 13:4 "But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you."(Ruth 1:16-17) Lifelong commitment reflects and grows out of a realization that God created marriage and gave it to men and women as a priceless gift. Malachi 2:15 says, "God, not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the smallest details of marriage...so guard the spirit of marriage within you." "Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate" (Matthew 19:6). Remember, the retreat is easy when you have the option. As the Bible says, "So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." (James 2:17). It's the same way in personal relationships. You demonstrate how important your marriage is to you by proactively investing time and money to make it better. During difficult seasons you fight for your marriage. In season and out of season, you show yourself willing to do whatever it takes to keep your relationship strong

**DISCLAIMER: I was around sixteen, seventeen years old when I wrote this. I probably no longer agree with most of this stuff, as I am over twenty now and I know a lot more and have had a lot of opinion changes. I'm so so glad it hasn't had nearly as much traction as "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" by Joshua Harris. Take this advice or critique it however you like, just please for the love of God don't be afraid to make mistakes or of getting hurt, and if you get hurt, it isn't the end of the world and it doesn't taint you or make you broken. Also go out and have fun and be safe. Go out and have sex and do more "ungodly" and "sinful" things. Here's a shaker of salt, and take as many grains of it as you want or need. ****************** Single? Wishing you had a boyfriend? Wondering what God's plans for you and your marriage are? Well, help is here! This book covers the purpose of being single and the steps for preparation for marriage. ******************* ***Highest Ranking: #231 in Spiritual but it was changed to Non-Fiction*** ***Highest Ranking: #86 in Non-Fiction*** ********************* If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad, then you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

""Christian, let go of me!" "No Liss, not until we settle this." I glared at him angrily as I waited for him to explain himself. "Okay look Liss. I never meant to hurt you... I just didn't know what to do." "Didn't know? Seriously? How could a person not know how to uncheat? Christian you were my friend's boyfriend." I told him, struggling to break free from his grip on my wrist. "Liss please... give me a chance. I need to make it up to you." He said to me softly, his soft grey eyes peering into my brown ones. I sighed and stopped fighting him. He took this as my surrender and let me go. Big mistake. As soon as he did I bolted back to my car and hurried to start it and drive away. I should have never come to this stupid party. --- Two childhood friends who drifted apart find each other again towards the end of highschool.

The world was full of trouble. Full of confusion and a catastrophic dilemma. One couldn't imagine at what destructive measure it would disintegrate into. While so many things were done to make the world a better place. At some point, it would later be revealed that the biggest problem was not a lack of educational facilities or a lack of health facilities. Believe it or not, Africa, also wasn't the world's biggest problem. The problem with the world today is sin. Sin brought about problems that would perpetuate into many more generations to come! It's almost unbelievable that someone would leave greener pastures to settle in a beat-down environment like Earth. One would wonder what this being could ever want. If life existed beyond the surfaces of our universe, why stay? If there was the possibility of walking with a glory that outshined the brightness of the sun, why hesitate? God cannot love us anymore than He loves our neighbor. His love tank is so vast that it accommodates everyone. Had He only sent Jesus Christ to the rich or the poor in African households, His love would then be conditioned to those that qualified. What makes His love so unique and strange is that He loves the broken and the sinners. He loves those of us that are unlikeable and unattractive. He persuaded His only son to die gruesomely to have all of mankind at His bosom. In the movies, opening doors and buying a bouquet of flowers is symbolic of love. In families, love is expressed in many different kind of forms. Even animals have ways in which they show affection. While all of that might stand out. It cannot be compared to the love of God. God can feel love, and He is love!

"May I join you?" He sat down before I even said anything, I looked at him and carried on with what I was doing. "Want to hear a fun fact?" "My sister used to work at this place, she loved working here, she met the people she loved here" He said while looking around the place. "I wasn't ready you know? Like she was here and now she is just gone. Forever" I let out a sarcastic laugh Me" I know what you mean" I ordered four more tequilas, and paid for them. "Fuck life" He smiled, I pushed two tequilas his way and downed mine. Me" I have to go, it was nice meeting you sir" I pat his back and then grabbed my things. "You from England?" "The accent" I nodded Me" Well I'm from Cape Town but I moved to England when I was 6 years old with my Aunt." He also got up from his chair "Enjoy your vacation" I shrugged Me" I'm actually here for a funeral and my brother is getting married two weeks after that" He laughed "Isn't there a movie about that?" I laughed too "There is, I really have to go. It was nice meeting you" He said Me" Goodnight" He smiled "Goodnight" I laughed because Qhama really didn't recognize me and I feel stupid, because in a room full of people. He would be the only person I recognize, I guess I don't matter anymore.

You know when you were younger and they told you that you could be whoever you wished to be? You could grow up and become whatever you set your mind and heart upon? Yep, well I'm here to tell you that's a complete load of bull. So as I stared across at my fiancé, our hands conjoined as he read his vows- it dawned on me.

And making my parents happy by completely shutting down any hopes and dreams I've ever had. was absolutely not what I wanted. "Nope." I shook my head, glancing between the priest and Jake, my soon-to-be, as I yanked my hands out of his. "W-what?" He stuttered, looking back at me mortified along with everyone else in the chapel. "Fuck this." I shook my head, as I lifted my dress and quickly made my way back down the isle that was littered with people I'd never seen before. So, few hours later and I'm on the first flight to Maine. Why? Well, shit happens. *this book is unedited

Just sign the papers," He urged her and handed her the pen. She took it hesitantly, hoping that this was only a dream, she prayed to wake up.
