Ben likes to run, and Donna doesn't, but if he had made that the issue while they were dating, they wouldn't be married today! He learned that he didn't *really* care about his girlfriend loving to run like he did, so it wasn't a dealbreaker! Ben Stuart's book, "Single, Engaged, Dating, Married," played an important part in the beginning of Sadie and Christian's dating relationship. Today, Ben and his wife, Donna, join Sadie to talk about all things singleness, how they started dating, how you know if the person you're dating is "the one," and why, in a new update of the book, Ben included a chapter on breaking up. Sadie talks about a defining moment for her when she fully intended to break up with Christian and how his reaction and statement completely changed her heart—she went from wanting to break up to wanting to marry him. Donna and Ben both share about their time apart when Ben asked for a pause and a letter-writing part for their relationship—and what that eventually proved to them both about the other. If you're in any of these phases, you won't want to miss this encouraging conversation about godly ways to approach finding a spouse.
