‘Here’s my advice for boys.’

As each of our 6 grandsons were born to 3 of our 4 daughters, I told the parents
‘*I* get to pick their son’s wives . . . !’

That was my first preference as well, but sometimes nature takes its course...

Not a good idea. Reason a lot of marriages fail is because busy-body relatives insist upon interfering with and being overly involved in other people's marriages. There is only one marriage that any person should ever concern themselves with - that is their own marriage.

Best thing my wife and I ever did (and we are approaching a quarter century of a nearly flawless marriage) was to maintain a comfortable distance from the families we came from. The closest family member is about 30 miles away and most of them are at least a time zone away. We only see them on special occasions.

Now that's a recipe for marital bliss.

I would suggest you butt out and let your grandkids make their own decisions.

That's wrong, too. Once children leave the home and get married, they are no longer under their parents' authority. At this point, grandparents trying to do what you're talking about here just become annoying, bothersome, unscriptural busybodies.
