Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast. I'm your co-host, Christina Dodson. This is an Ask

Dr. Kim segment where people submit their questions for Dr. Kim Kim, and he answers them.

Thanks for listening.

Today on Ask Dr. Kim, the question that we have is how do you know if a dating relationship

is moving too quickly emotionally or too quickly

towards marriage? So Dr. Kim, can a relationship move too quickly emotionally?

Yes. I think it can. I think it certainly depends on someone's situation where they are in life.

I guess it can happen at any age, you know, but I think sometimes we get attached emotionally very quickly.

I think it's so good to develop a friendship, to let things kind of go in a natural progression.

Because I've seen people that just get, you know, in have a cup had people that maybe they've been through

divorce and they're single. They really want a new marriage and so they meet someone and it's like

they're just desire for that and they're spilling their guts. The other person's hearing all those

kind of things and they've just connected themselves and really waived when they really don't

know where that other person may or may not be. And so that this particular person could really get hurt

at some point, I think, you know, that person that they're dating may decide whatever. You know,

I wouldn't in, I wouldn't all in and he was all in or I wouldn't all in and she was all in,

you know, and so I think you, letting it progress naturally and letting it, you know,

developing that as a friendship first is always going to be so much healthier.

And that's another reason that we put off the sexual relationship.

married, divorce, been a relationship, it got sexual.
