How you approach the dating process is more important than you can imagine. There is much at stake. What’s learned in the dating process will inform our relationships for the rest of our lives. One thing dating teaches us is patience. Most of us can’t wait to be in love. We watch the movies and the television shows about the moment when we finally meet our soul mate. Fireworks will explode and there will be music in the air.

Fireworks will explode and there will be music in the air.Sadly, fireworks only last a few minutes. We have a series of moments where, for an instant, we truly believe the person we’re currently dating is the “one.” Then, after a few more dates, the very things we once thought were cute now become grating. We seem to fall in and out of love overnight. Not really. What we’re feeling isn’t true love. Authentic love is tougher than that.

Time is essential to dating. It’s all about time. It takes time with another person to see if you’re compatible for a lifetime together. It takes time to know the person well enough in the present to understand, or at least not be too surprised as to how that person will react in the future.

These are important things to know. After all, this decision, the person whom you decide to marry, is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.
