[JUNE 14, 2006]  Am I ready to begin dating again? How can I make sure a new relationship will work out? If I don't remarry, how can I deal with the loss of intimacy? These questions will be answered when the DivorceCare support group meets from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday at Jefferson Street Christian Church, 1700 N. Jefferson St., Lincoln.

DivorceCare is a video seminar series featuring experts on divorce and recovery topics such as coping with loneliness and depression, financial survival, and single parenting. Each session also includes group discussion.

"New Relationships" suggests 12 ways divorced individuals can know whether they are ready to begin dating again. The video features pastor and author Tony Evans of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, Dallas, Texas; and Gary Richmond, pastor and author of "The Divorce Decision."
