Over the past year, I’ve learned a great deal about the challenges that relationship-oriented singles are experiencing. What has struck me the most so far is the sheer number of decisions that being in a relationship requires. After all, deciding who you’re
going to share your life with is one of the biggest decisions you're ever going to make! When else in your life did you make such an important decision? The one that I think comes
closest is deciding where to go to college. Now it’s unlikely that you made that decision on your
own. You had teachers, guidance counselors and family members to help you. Maybe you decided
instead to go into a business or a trade that you had a special talent for. But I bet you didn't make
these decisions on your own; most of you had help. Now that you’re a little (or a lot) older and searching for a life partner, who do you
trust to help you? Most singles will answer “No one”. Or maybe there is someone,
but not for all of your relationship decisions. That’s why singles will write to me, or come
up to me after my workshops-- to ask for help.
