Ron: “You know, Ron, they tried to tell me to slow down. But I just didn’t listen.”

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: A couple of years ago on our national radio broadcast FamilyLife Today® we interviewed a single mom about the challenges of dating when you have kids. Two years later that same single mom got married, forming a blended family. Ironically, she didn’t heed the very advice she contributed to. We had cautioned single parents not to rush through dating, but she had done just that. She had married a great guy but for the sake of her kids she had regrets about moving too fast.

Hey, listen, when you’re ready to marry, your kids are likely far behind. If you want to avoid regret slow down. Date intentionally and give consideration to how your kids feel about it. You won’t regret that. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
