What Nobody Told You Before You Said "I Do"
There's a version of your love story that didn't have to go the way it went. The arguments that came out of nowhere. The silence that replaced conversations you needed to have. The questions you never thought to ask while everything still felt new.
Most relationship books meet you in the mess. Relationship Unwrapped meets you before it starts.
Author Konan Kouakou spent 20 years as a single Christian — not waiting passively, but watching, learning, and discovering the patterns that quietly determine whether a relationship thrives or slowly unravels.
This is not a book about rules. It's a book about revelation — the kind that makes you see your past relationships differently, your current situation more clearly, and your future with far more confidence.
"Most relationship books tell you what went wrong. This one shows you what you missed before you even started."

The Special Edition Workbook
A 10-Week Guided Journey to Loving God, Yourself, and Others
This workbook was created to help slow the process down. It is not meant to be rushed through — it's designed to be explored week by week, with time to reflect, write, and apply what you discover.

Whether you use it alone, with a partner, or in a small group, each week includes teaching, scripture, reflection questions, journal space, action steps, and a closing prayer.

Your Relationship Readiness Score™
Most people don't struggle in relationships because they lack effort.
They struggle because of patterns they don't see.

A Trusted Friend Who Has Been Through It
Konan Kouakou didn't grow up with a perfect picture of love. Born in Ivory Coast and rooted in faith since his earliest years, he spent two decades as a single Christian — not as someone waiting on the sidelines, but as someone paying close attention.
He watched relationships begin with passion and end in pain. He asked the questions most people avoid. He sat with the discomfort of not rushing something that mattered.
When he finally married, he didn't just bring his heart to the table. He brought 20 years of clarity.
Today, Konan lives in Chicago, Illinois, and is the founder of Omega Press™. His writing draws on the intersection of biblical truth, lived experience, and a multicultural perspective shaped by his African roots and American journey. He writes the way a trusted friend talks — honest enough to challenge you, grounded enough to guide you.

I thought I was ready. I wasn't. This book showed me why — and what to do about it.
My husband and I read this together. We recognized ourselves in chapters we wish we'd read years ago.
I finally found a resource I can recommend to my congregation with full confidence.
"What you overlook while dating will show up in your marriage."
