Episode Transcript
A listener, writes Gary, I'm dating and she says that
I value friends and family above her.
S2 (00:07):
Well, recognize that the purpose of dating is to get
to know each other and to decide whether this is
going to lead to marriage or not. And many times
the dating relationship does not lead to marriage, but rather
it helps us understand this person well enough to know
that no, no, we're not meant for each other. So
I would be rather encouraged by the fact that you're
(00:29):
having conflicts in the dating relationship. And if you can't
resolve those things while you are dating, pretty good sign
you're not going to make it in marriage. Because if
one person has to have their way all the time
and you're always condemned on the other side, that doesn't
lead to a happy marriage. So listen to what's going
on and use your mind.
S3 (00:51):
Doctor Gary Chapman is the author of The Five Love Languages.
