So You're Expecting A Baby
A positive pregnancy test is one of the most life-changing moments in a woman's life! If you are single, you might also be considering whether or not marriage should be a part of your plan.
Having a Baby
Is Your Pregnancy Unplanned?
- I’m Pregnant . . . Now What? Are you single, and wondering how to tell your parents that you are pregnant? This booklet suggests important questions to discuss, and the timing of those discussions, and how to deal with reactions of family and friends.
How Can I Prepare to be a Good Mom?
- What is a Successful Parent? It’s not too early to think about what kind of parent you want to be.
- Connect with other pregnant women and new moms at a local Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) group. There’s probably one that meets near you!
Should I Get Married?
Things To Think About
- Define the Relationship. Wondering where your relationship is going? Not knowing if the other person is considering marriage can make you feel vulnerable and maybe even taken advantage of. A free online assessment to help you think through where you’re headed.
- Living Together. Living together isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and can actually undermine a good marriage.
- A Girl’s Guide to Marrying Well. Most women hope to marry, but for many, it’s not happening like they thought it would. By understanding and embracing God’s design for marriage you have a better shot at not only getting married, but marrying well.
- A Guy’s Guide to Marrying Well. Increasingly, young men are — as one writer put it — “stumbling on to the altar as if by accident.” This guide is based on a few timeless concepts that we rarely encounter in popular culture but are a proven path to marrying well.
