Getting Naked Later

Dating, Waiting, and Feeling Frustrated? In all the ways you imagined your life, this is never how you thought it would turn out. If you didn’t anticipate still being single at this stage and you aren’t quite sure how to navigate the unfulfilled dreams and as yet unanswered prayers, you are not alone. Kate Hurley found herself waiting on the side of that road, and waiting, and waiting. Now she wants to guide you through it. She doesn’t offer a magic formula that will bring your spouse to you, nor does she ask you to be content with your “gift” of singleness. Getting Naked Later will help you tackle the hard questions: ·What happens if I never get married? ·Do I have value if I don’t have a mate? ·Will I always feel lonely if I end up alone?Kate gives you permission to grieve your unmet expectations while opening your heart and life to the unforeseen possibilities of a different kind of love story. Like Kate, your longing may never go away, but you can learn how to long and let go at the very same time.
