In Before You Do, bestselling author T.D. Jakes turns his attention and teachings to the topic of relationships and the issues that need to be resolved by incorporating the spiritual and psychological tools that will help you reevaluate and reposition yourself.

Relationship decisions come down to five crucial components, according to Bishop Jakes:
Research: gathering information and collecting data
Roadwork: removing obstacles and clearing the path
Rewards: listing choices and imaging their consequences
Revelation: narrowing your options and making your selection
Rearview: looking back and adjusting as necessary to stay on course

Before You Do gets you on the right track to making decisions that youÕll be proud of for the rest of your life. He gives you insight on how to reflect, discern, and decide the next step to take to have a strong and enduring love, marriage, and family.

The Bishop takes a spiritual and practical approach to inherently emotional issues such as the outside influences on our relationships, e.g., in-laws, friends, and former spouses; coping with anger; parenting; financial concerns; negotiating high-profile lives; and so many more of the issues people face every day. His special brand of counseling and teaching appeals to the faith-based community and beyond, reaching millions who receive his wisdom in all media, especially books.
