Dating after Divorce

Christian Dating after DivorceChristian Dating after Divorce is something that should not be rushed. It was several years before I felt, somewhat, comfortable dating. I spent countless hours improving who I was, healing from past relationships and learning how to love and receive love. When I did feel ready to date I tried the singles group at church without much success. I eventually started online dating and gained valuable insight about myself and the opposite sex.
