Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace & Truth

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.
