According to Mark Anderson, the hardest conversation he had was before he even left for the show. He had to get his kids’ approval to date again after their mom’s death.

“The hardest question I’ve had my life was to ask my kids if it was okay with them for me to date again, you know, before I came on the show,” he said. His children encouraged him to join the show to possibly find love again.
