What’s Influencing Your Relationships?
And perhaps more important, what do you want influencing them?
Single parents can often struggle to find a healthy, happy relationship. After what is often a long internal battle with the decision to get divorced, they might find themselves dating people who remind them of their ex, dating the complete opposite of their ex, or even not dating at all.
They start looking for clues about how to have better relationships. They read books, examine their past relationships, or ask family or friends for advice.
But there’s one thing that many don’t consider when they want to improve their relationships. And it might be one of the most important things to consider.

One key to having better relationships is digging in and determining what influences your relationships.
