S3E5 Dre Smith on No Sex Before Marriage, Dating, & Rejection

Dre Smith is back! In season 1, he gave us a powerful Rejection Reflection, and we knew we had to bring him back for a deeper conversation. If you don’t already know Dre, he’s the founder and CEO of Relationship Restored, host of Real Love Scenario and Worth Thee Wait, and has even shared his journey on Red Table Talk alongside his wife in a candid discussion about marriage.

 

In this episode, we dive into the NO moments that shaped Dre’s path in dating and marriage. We talk about his dating rejections that led to self-reflection and personal growth. Dre gets into how to distinguish between healthy rejection and personal insecurity. Dre shares his experience with waiting to have sex until marriage, boundaries, how saying NO strengthens relationships, navigating disagreements, external influences, and evolving relationship dynamics. Tune in and find out why sometimes, the best thing that can happen is hearing NO.
