The Missing Link In Marriage: Self-Awareness: Courtship, Dating & Mating

Why do some relationships thrive while others struggle, even when love is present? In The Missing Link in Marriage: Self-Awareness, Dr. Zachary Willis reveals the often-overlooked foundation of healthy courtship, dating, and lasting marriage: understanding yourself first.

Based on his dissertation, The Elements of Self-Awareness and Its Impact on Marital Satisfaction, and drawing from over 20 years of experience in psychology, counseling, and human development, Dr. Willis explores how self-knowledge shapes attraction, emotional connection, and long-term relationship success.

This book helps readers:


- Understand how unresolved trauma—both direct and indirect—affects relationship readiness
- Identify common misconceptions about love, dating, and soulmates
- Develop emotional maturity and healthy boundaries
- Stop chasing relationships and begin attracting what aligns naturally
- Prepare for the kind of love the Creator intended

Blending psychological insight with biblical wisdom, Dr. Willis offers a practical, step-by-step framework for personal growth that leads to healthier romantic relationships. His approachable style simplifies complex aspects of human behavior and empowers readers to build inner strength before committing to lifelong partnership.

Whether you are single, dating, engaged, or married, The Missing Link in Marriage will challenge you to look inward—and discover how self-awareness can transform the way you love.
