Knot-Tying Tip

Don’t Date Each Other’s PR Departments

The role of a Public Relations Director (PRD) is to help someone manage their reputation. Their job is to “promote clients and make them seem as successful, honest, important, exciting or relevant as possible.”2 Professional athletes and celebrities often need a PRD to help create a favorable public persona. Sometimes PRDs have to take the bad from someone’s past and help make it seem better than reality.

Although you’ve probably never hired a PRD, you’ve more than likely indirectly benefited from their services. When we start dating someone, we act like a PRD. We manage our reputation, and we do whatever we can to seem as successful, honest, important, exciting, and relevant as possible. We want our significant other to be impressed by us, so we put our best face forward. We watch what we eat, work out more than ever, and share only what we want the other person to know about us. We excel in letting others see only what we want them to see.

In other words, when we date, we’re often filled with lies and half-truths. And guess what? So is the other person we’re trying to impress. We date and pursue each other’s PRDs. Unfortunately, this is the exact opposite of what we’re called to be in marriage—naked without shame.

Fire your PRD, and be honest and authentic with each other.
