How To Know Whether You're Ready for a Long-term Relationship


Listen Later

Here’s the unfortunate truth for most men dating in our modern society: 

They’re not emotionally mature enough to sustain a successful long-term relationship. When they’re not mature enough, sexual temptation will sabotage their relationships—almost as soon as they exit the honeymoon phase. 

The solution? 

Well, first you need to understand that sexual temptation comes from sexual shame when you’re younger. Then, before you’re ready for a long-term relationship, you need to learn how to handle sexual temptation without repressing your sexual desires. 

It may not be easy, but it’s the only way to predict whether your relationship will last 50+ years or fall apart. 

In this episode, you’ll discover how to know with certainty if you’re ready for a long-term relationship. And some steps you can take if you’re not ready, so you can fast track your way to a healthy and fulfilling marriage.
