    Sorry Dr. but when you call ,having sex, a "sleepover" it undermines your crediability.

    Have a sleepover? Typical worldly advice, which, if heeded, will soon be regretted! The Bible is explicit that fornicators will not inherit God's Kingdom, so anyone who looks forward to mankind's only hope should not listen to these worldly counselors with advice that depicts the spirit of the world, which belongs to Satan. True Christians should not even be alone with a prospective mate until they've gotten to know them sufficiently enough that they're considering marriage and are engaged, for we all know that dating leads to sin. Just consider some of the previous comments to see Satan at work here. Get close to God first, who probably wasn't a part of your failed relationship, hoping for His blessing in your next one!

    Terry G, I'm a Christian too, a "True Christian" as you've called it. You know, The things that you've said is the very reasons sinners never want to give their life to God. When people hear things like, "dating leads to sin," "you shoudn't be alone with your mate until they're ready for marriage," So not true. God doesn't want us to sleep around, but he doesn't want us to be lonely either. God WAS a part of my marriage, and it failed anyway. God doesn't put everyone together who go and get married.

    The wise man on the hill once said: "One must gather for himself before he gathers for others." We are all intelligent enough to understand that we must take time to heal. Being in my 40's that is easy to see now. Once in my early30's, I was off to the bar after a serious divorce ended. OK, I fell in love, drowned in tequilla, with an East Texas pot smoking bar fly with a nice kareoke voice and a disfunctional family. The point is that we are not really in our right frame of mind after a serious break up. And as responsible people, we should seek our family and friends that are in such situations and keep them as close as possible. I bet you know one right now who needs your support, and, your insight. Get Real !

    i think that beeing in a relationships has it's ups and downs but you have to want to deal with the problems that comes along not run from it somethings might not work out than you go ya'll different ways but when the relationship is over give yourslf time to thing and find youself again you would be glad that you did than you would know what you are going to deal with and what you are not going to deal with.

    to much is put on the sex thing get a friend and if it turnes out to be more in time well thats a bonus but children should be kept right out of it untill you are both sure, remember your child will do the same as you teach when its their turn to date so show them how to be respectfull to others

    This was a pretty good Blog. I am at a crossroads and am trying to get the courage up to end a relationship I was in for too long. Maybe this will help me on my way. I hope it helps others too.

    i had a 12 year marriage was with him for 17 years and to be honest i am hurting. My husband moved in with his girlfriend he just met this year. I don't know what to do which way i am coming, but i want to date just to hurt him back. Yes I know that is wrong but do you know he has not even contacted his children in 2 weeks. He is enjoying his life and I am sitting at home barely getting out of bed, barely going to work. actually I am just so embarressed!!!!! None of my friends will fix me up with a man, but for me i want to go out just for dinner, dancing anything. I hear what you are saying about taking your time, but not fair he is dating. I am at home with kids (I LOVE MY BABIES) but not fair.
