Why Love Should Never Be Your Only Qualification for Marriage What if the biggest decision of your life has been built on the smallest question?
For generations, we've been told to ask:
Do I love them?
But what if that was only the beginning?
In Worth More Than Butterflies, A.L. Childers takes readers on a thought-provoking journey through the history of marriage, relationships, money, family, psychology, and modern love to explore the questions most people never think to ask-until it's too late.
This isn't a book about giving up on love.
It isn't about blaming men.
And it certainly isn't about telling you what to believe.
It's about learning to think differently before making one of the biggest decisions of your life.
Warm, honest, and refreshingly practical, this book challenges cultural assumptions, separates romance from reality, and encourages readers to build relationships on something stronger than feelings alone.
Because butterflies are beautiful...
But some things are worth more than butterflies.
One question could change everything:If love introduced you to someone... what should convince you to build a life with them?
Perfect for readers interested in:
- Healthy relationships
- Marriage
- Dating
- Women's empowerment
- Personal growth
- Relationship advice
- Financial literacy
- Family dynamics
- Critical thinking
- Self-worth
