Dr. Don Raunikar is an American psychoanalyst from Houston, Texas. He is a Baptist and is married to Kim Raunikar, with whom he adopted their son Jonathan Valentin from Romania through Buckner International. He is the director of New Life Clinics, where he practices psychotherapy, and he is in charge of Lifehouse, a crisis pregnancy center. Raunikar advises singles not to engage in dating but instead to engage in Biblical courtship, which he defines as an interpersonal relationship that honors God and in which both people's actions have the clear goal of pursuing marriage. He wrote the book Choosing God's Best: Wisdom for Lifelong Romance, which was published in 1998. In this book, Raunikar writes that waiting for God's plan to unfold requires courage and faith.
