There were times during the raising of our five daughters that Lloyd and I would have appreciated having an application for potential suitors to complete before we would allow them to date our precious treasures. Not that it would have done us any good, given the independent strong-willed nature of said treasures. Nevertheless, it would have made us feel like we had some kind of control over the uncontrollable.
Me and the girls - early 1990sI don't think there are many parents of daughters who haven't at one time or another wished they lived in an arranged marriage culture. When all is said and done though, it's a good thing the girls were able to make their own choices. Now that they're all happily married we realize that our choices wouldn't have been the ones that would make them as happy as they currently are. But the urge to protect our daughters is a strong one and we had to trust that they know what's best for them. After all, they are adults...now...and happy ones at that!
Anyway, I found this application and thought it was worth sharing...if only for a laugh. You may have to click on it to make it appear large enough to read. For fun only, of course.
