I have been divorced for 9 years. I did not get help after my divorce. I never made the time. I changed jobs that kept me away from home. I never had to deal with the pain. I haven’t dated or had a relationship since my divorce. I did not lie down in the gutter either. No man has touched me. My problem is just recently, I have met a man that I would consider dating. I am so incredibly afraid. All these years of pent up feelings, I don’t want to contaminate a new relationship with old baggage. Please pray for my release as I ask God to heal my brokeness. I know God can heal my wounds as I open up to Him. He will never reject and He will make me less afraid. I only want God’s will for my life. Thank you.

Martha, dating after a divorce is somewhat a “hit and miss”–there will be possible partners that you like and some you not like well enough to go on. Obviously there’s the vice-versa for your partners too, right? Some will like and chase you, the others will not like you so much. Expect that dating will start and stop, so don’t go overboard with your feelings. Enjoy the dates and just see how it goes.
Hope this helps! Brian Daniel
