Episode Transcript
Ron: After a break up or lost relationship, I think you’re ready to date again…when you don’t need to date again.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: More than once I’ve heard people say, “You know, Joe is going to have to get married again. Since his wife died I just can’t see him staying alone.”
Well, I’m not so sure that’s a good reason to date. When pain pushes you toward a new relationship or when loneliness pulls you towards one, in my experience, you’re in trouble. Neither of those emotions helps you be objective about the quality of a new relationship…or its impact on children. Trust in God as your provider and partner. Take time to heal. When you can be content you’ll be in a much better place to make good choices about new love. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
