In previous years, "dating God" became the standard on which one based his or her relationship with God. This thought challenged Christians to get to know and spend quality time with Him, just like one would with a significant other. In Marry Me First, author Catie Hughes encourages you to develop an even deeper connection with God.

God desires more than a relationship filled with breakups where you can walk away whenever you choose. God desires intimacy and commitment. God desires a marriage with each person through the good times, the bad, and the ugly. Encountering God to this depth helps you understand that marriage allows for each person within the relationship to learn more and more about the other. God cares about every detail of your life.

Marry Me First gives a glimpse into Hughes' life, speaking to how God and her intimate relationship with Him has helped her sort it out. She shares her experiences to show you aren't alone, and it provides encouragement as you journey through the challenging years of life, college, and adulthood.
