Three Things to Consider Before Dating Again | Ep 05

When is it safe to go back into the real world? When is it safe to go back to dating? How long should you date before you get married again? Today I talk about three things to consider before dating again.

IN THIS PODCAST

SUMMARY

  • Timing
  • Do your homework
  • 3 things to consider

TIMING

Divorce stats show that when people date, commit and get married after knowing each other less than 2 years, or when they know each other and date for 7 years, and then get married, they’re more likely to get divorced.

You have to think of dating as a process, and it really is trial and error.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK

It’s really important to vet the person you’re dating. Some things you have to think about:

  • Make sure you know their friends and family.
  • What are they like when they’re around older people or children?
  • What are they like when things don’t go their way and how do they handle being impatient?
  • How do they treat you when you’re around friends and family?

3 THINGS TO CONSIDER

Each phase comes with its own challenges:

  1. Dating for too short an amount of time and then wanting to get married again.
  2. Dating for too long and then wanting to get married again.
  3. When you or your partner has kids and you’re considering being a blended family.
