If you’re serious about marriage, it’s always good to remember you don’t just marry her, you marry her family, for all intents and purposes.

Now I agree this was taken way to the extreme. But I think if people returned to more traditional ways of courtship, the world would be a better place.

Yeah, you do get stuck with the whole family, so you might as well learn if you can handle them early. If that’s your path. Old things always seem odd now. But really is that different than the ever popular cleaning your guns in the living room when your daughter’s date comes to pick her up? It’s all about ground rules.

Absolutely.

After my drive by comment, those are good thoughts. How she relates to her father and mother will tell you a lot. She will become the mother and treat you like her father. Better to know up front.
