Sorry, I have been away from my writing for my blog! Life has been very hectic – with several snow storms in DC, a toddler in the house, a husband who is job hunting, and a very active coaching business. As a working mom, I am constantly working toward greater balance in my life.
Also, this is the first time I sold out on my 10-week Get Love Right online coaching group. I have six clients to work with at the same time on top of my regular one-on-one clients! We are halfway through the 5 weeks with the group. They can’t believe how fast 5 weeks went!
One question I was asked in group coaching was what were some of my top tips for marriage-minded dating- I realized this was a great question to share with my community here. Here they are!
- Know the reasons that you are out there dating- such as dating for fun or for meeting a marriage partner. Make sure that your date’s reasons match yours or you will be wasting your time!
- When you are dating – either for a first date or a 10th date, keep your expectations realistic. The purpose of dating is to explore how you feel about a person and if they want the same things out of life. It’s not a promise until an engagement.
- Use your values as your guidepost about where to find appropriate people to date and how to express who you are looking for as a mate.
They may sound simple at first, but if you apply these principles to your dating process, you’ll find yourself less discouraged and more successful!
Enjoy the spring!
