Dedication
To Charisa, my beloved daughter: You have made father-
hood a pleasure, and I know that the principles in this book
could only be credible because of your commitment and dedica-
tion to the values and moral standards your mom and I laid
down for you.
To Chairo, my precious son: You have taught me the art of
being a father by demanding from me the things a father needs
to give his son. This book is not only dedicated to you but to your
children and their children after them. May you continue to be
an example of the values and standards we showed and taught
you through our marriage relationship.
To every single unmarried person who desires the best in
relationships: May the principles on these pages serve as a
roadmap on your journey through the emotional seasons of
interpersonal relationships.
To every parent who wants to help their children make wise
decisions and keep themselves pure until marriage.
