    About this audiobook

    President/CEO of Franklin Entertainment and former Sony Pictures executive DeVon Franklin and award-winning actress Meagan Good have learned sometimes all we can do is wait for "the one" to come into our lives. They spent years crossing paths, but it wasn't until they were thrown together while working on the film Jumping the Broom that their storybook romance began.

    Faced with starting a new relationship and wanting to avoid potentially devastating relationship pitfalls, DeVon and Meagan chose to do something almost unheard of in today's society-abstain from sex until they were married.

    In The Wait, DeVon and Meagan share the life-changing message that waiting-rather than rushing a relationship-can help you find the person you're meant to be with. Filled with candid his-and-hers accounts of the most important moments of their relationship, and practical advice on how waiting for everything-from dating to sex-can transform relationships, allowing you to find a deep connection based on patience, trust, and faith.

      This book is a MUST-READ! It is for anyone who desires to WAIT for a well-deserved life and not just instant gratification! TWO BIG THUMBS UP!
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed the book overall. I like the fact that the authors suggest what to do while you wait. Work on your broken areas, redefine you, exercise, start that business, get your finances in order travel, know who you are and then at the same time know what you want because the person that you become while you wait may attract a different person than who you originally set out to desire in your life. The are many great take away that I will use a guideline in my life.
