Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: One single dad dated a woman for two years without telling his kids. When he got engaged, he decided it was time to break the news. Ah, wrong! Don’t carry on a relationship behind your kid’s backs. It’s certainly okay to date someone a few times, but once you think the relationship has potential, it’s time.
Hey, look, the fit between your kids and your dating partner should be a huge factor in whether you have a future with this person anyway. So, start the “family-dating” process long before you even think about getting engaged. Listen, dating well matters because it makes the transition to a healthy stepfamily after the wedding a lot easier.
For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
