It is tough being single, especially in the military. You want to find the right person and be happy in a relationship. Nobody wants to have their heart broken or even worse, marry the wrong person.
There are two common problems with dating today. First, too many people do not know what to look for when dating. They go out on the dating scene with no expectations. This is a matter of education and learning what to look for in your next relationship. Second, people minimize problems when they are dating. People focus on matters of the heart, fixing a person, or accept bad behavior when they should instead hit the eject button to avoid a serious crash and burn.
Army chaplains frequently offer a program for single soldiers called, “How To Avoid Falling for a Jerk(ette).” This program is also known as PICK, premarital interpersonal choices and knowledge. While that title sounds complicated, PICK allows soldiers to build healthy relationships and follow your heart without losing your mind!
It is designed to provide singles and singles-again of all ages with a plan for pacing a relationship and exploring the key areas that foreshadow what that partner will be like in marriage. This way you have a roadmap and mile markers to guide you in your next relationship.
No one should settle for a jerk or a jerkette. Learn what to look for and know when to run for the exit sign. You deserve a safe, happy, and healthy relationship.
