My life as a single woman had been negatively impacted by an unusual amount of rejection. The social rejection I endured in those failed relationships led to anger, anxiety, depression, sadness, and even jealousy. I used to think that romantic relationships were a competition where only the most attractive or those with more to offer were partnered up first while the rest of us were resigned to a life of loneliness.

I was single, never married, had no children, and I had a lot of questions. I wanted to avoid making the same mistakes I’d made in the past, so I created CheMinistry, a relationship platform. Much like CheMinistry, “Relationships Matter” lays bare the process of introspection and reflection that gave me clarity about my past relationships and blueprint for a successful relationship.

My vision for this book is to help purpose driven men and women progressively elevate their love life to a level of trust, intimacy and vulnerability that deeply nurtures the shared romantic connection.
