[CatoRenasci]

Yes, rather. Any young person with any spirit at all will at some point defy their parents in some ways and rebel. Hopefully, not in dangerous or destructive ways, but the young person who does not ever assert themselves contrary to their parents wishes I view with grave suspicion.

[Pablo64]

"but the young person who does not ever assert themselves contrary to their parents wishes I view with grave suspicion."

That's really sad and an even worse comment on our society. I happen to be married to a wonderful woman who never rebelled against her parents in any way. That's not to say she always agreed with them or understood their reasons (she does now that she's a mother), but she had (and still has) the best relationship with her parents that I have ever seen with anybody.

Also, you may think she is just not telling me everything, but I have verified it with her parents and with her closest friends. No drinking, no smoking, no drugs, no sex, no running around town causing mischief. Nothing. Period.

I thank God daily that he blessed me with a woman of such character (who is the product of parents with impecable character themselves).
