Wow - well said. As a Mom to 4 girls and 5 boys, ages 23 to 6 and all unmarried as of right now, I appreciate your advice and perspective. My husband and I see the change in marriages that has taken place over the past 25 to 50 years and it is sad. But God is still at work and if we trust Him first and foremost, He can take 2 broken people and meld them into an amazing force for good for each other, His Church and society and also be glorified through that union. But the enemy is opposed to all of that and has sought to destroy this basic unit of society. May our hearts be turned to Him as the Center and our marriages and families flow out of His centrality in our lives so that the watching world may see Jesus and glorified Him because of our relationships, despite our weaknesses and frailties! Thank you for some thought-inspiring words.
Just don’t get married as a man. It is all risk and no accountability from the woman. She can just up and decide to leave on some vague whim while taking all your assets with her and leaving you with no access to your children but with all the child support payments
I asked myself - “Am I preparing my daughter to leave and cleave?” I’m certainly doing my best, but not having this modeled for me, fee like I’m muddling through… we have a really open relationship where we can disagree and still be in relationship- which I am really grate for. Just wondering if I need to be doing more for my 20 something daughter.
I’m 27, no one ever taught me anything about relationships or virtue or God at all, I learnt for myself, but I had to go through the darkness and mud.
If you taught your daughter anything at all about virtue, self-improvement in Christ and courting, and try to prevent short-term relationships and time-wasting etc, then that’s better than what most people get. If she doesn’t listen at least she has something to think about after going through hell; like a lot of us have.
I wish someone told me how important marriage and family is in life and taught me about it. I don’t blame anyone or feel like a victim, I just recognise how beneficial education is from a young age.
If she’s 20 and you’re only just starting to teach about it, it’s probably too late for her to take it on board, but I don’t know all the details and circumstances.

If I had found this advice long ago, it would have saved me much heartache.
This is gold bro. I pray some struggling young man reads this and makes the right decision.
Wish I was taught this years ago. Thank you.
No.

How can you be fully committed to someone who doesn't exist?

These are just my thoughts.
All the best.
Thanks it’s very important to know the parents and friends.
This is why I’m fairly blackpilled. All the good ones are taken. Oh well.
