Christine's 16-year-old daughter was having emotional difficulties, but Christine's boyfriend wasn't very patient. In fact, he blamed her for keeping them from getting married. Even though Christine was in love and felt their "coupleness" was a good fit I suggested there was a huge flashing yellow light in front of her. He's not mindful of your daughter. "Familyness" yellow lights should bring caution to "coupleness." Your kids need you to slow down and make sure the light isn't turning red.

Ron: Yellow flashing lights mean proceed with caution.

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

Ron: Yeah, a yellow light when you’re dating someone means slow down. Christine’s 16-year-old daughter was having some emotional difficulties, but Christine’s boyfriend wasn’t very patient with her struggles. In fact, he was irritated and blamed her for keeping them from getting married. Now, even though Christine was in love and felt their “coupleness” was a good fit I suggested there was a huge flashing yellow light in front of her. He’s not mindful of your daughter.

You see, “familyness” yellow lights should bring caution to “coupleness.” Your kids need you to slow down and make sure the light isn’t turning red. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
