About the Guest
-
Laura was a single mom with two teenagers who'd dated a guy for years and she was ready to get married. But he wasn’t. “Am I being selfish,†she asked me. Well, maybe not selfish, but certainly unwise. She overlooked the conflict between her daughter and her boyfriend. And she was convinced he would be a good father-figure to her sonâ€"even though he said he didn’t really want to be. Quit ignoring air traffic control. Don’t take off unless the pilot’s onboard and everyone is safely in their seat.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Laura was in love. A single mom with two teenagers, she’d been dating a guy for a couple of years and was ready to get married. But he wasn’t. Being sure things would work out, Laura kept pressing for marriage. “Am I being selfish?” she asked me. Well, maybe not selfish, but certainly unwise. She overlooked the conflict between her daughter and her boyfriend. And she was convinced he would be a good father-figure to her son—even though he said he didn’t really want to be.
Look, quit ignoring air traffic control. Don’t take off unless the pilot’s onboard and everyone is safely in their seat. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
