Tell your son to forget about courting and go back to the really good ol' days--arrange a marriage and get the girl's father to pay him a dowry as a down payment on divorce. Would even up the odds, wouldn't it?

Dating or courting, I don't see why another man should have to woo the family--'cuz you are doing them a favor taking a possibly explosive and irrational creature out of their house. I don't see why a man should have to woo the woman either--unless women are happy slaving away at the career wheel and hitting 40 with a womb as empty as our Savior's Tomb...

I say: arranged marriage and a dowry or no way!
