  • Focus on the Family

    Strengthening families through biblical principles.

    Focus on the Family addresses the use of biblical principles in parenting and marriage to strengthen the family.

I was going to post this in the Ladies Locker Room, but thought a man's perspective is also necessary since they contribute 50% to the marriage.

How about reverence on one side and unconditional love on the other side?

Which side?

Does unconditional love exist?

Do what I did. See what the parents are like. The gal you're dating probably be much like them seeing she had been trained by them for 20ish years. Single parent household ... sorry, but that 1 strike. (see stats comparison of kids brought up in single parent house hold compared to brought up with 2 parents.)

Watch out if she has a lot of debt. How good is she with money. Anecdote: I was at work and guy gets off the phone and says: "that was the bank ... the wife has topped up the credit care". I was sympathetic and said: "Yikes, that's bad". He says: "No, that's good ... she can't spend any more".
