Summary

Men who struggle in dating, plus determining a person’s growth potential, and how do you spot a false teacher?      

Featured musical artist: Daniel Bashta 

Roundtable: Guys’ Dating Struggles

We all know men who’ve tried to date well (or date at all), but with no success. If that sounds like you and you want to turn things around, take heart. Our guests were in the same boat, experiencing fear, rejection, dead-ends, and even a few broken engagements. Now married, they share advice for growth and self-awareness, plus courage to not give up hope even in the midst of disappointment.

Culture: Can This Person Change?

We all have room to grow, but when dating, how much can we expect a person to change? And in what ways? In light of this, how can we know when our expectations are unrealistic and it’s time to either adjust them or end the relationship? Dr. Bob Paul specializes in helping couples in crisis. He joins us to talk about relational expectations and how to discern whether two people have what it takes to go the distance.
