Questions a young man should ask:

- how is her relationship with her father?

- is her mother what I want my wife to be like?

- how does her mother treat her father?

- do I want my daughters to be like her?

Questions a young woman should ask:

- how does he treat his mother?

- is his father what I want my husband to be like?

- how does his father treat his mother?

- do I want my sons to be like him?

There are always exceptions, and some children are able to break bad familial patterns, but these are generally a good starting place. No one should enter #marriage unthinkingly.

A little unsolicited advice, thank you for indulging me.

In a generally broken society thank goodness there are pattern breakers.

Amen. Too often, though, when the difficulties come, or the children, those patterns emerge. Best to rule them out beforehand if you can. Marriage is hard enough.
