a lot of girls have been taught that they have to rely on themselves

As a father of three boys, I cannot personally speak to what girls are taught.

However; one of the most important parental wisdoms I have pressed onto my children is to never marry a girl that moves from her daddy's house to yours. Only marry a girl that has lived on her own. A girl that is marrying because she wants you; not because she needs you, or imagines you to be the solution to her problems.

AMEN!

Never marry straight from the home; she lives on her own and lives for herself for a while.

Don’t marry someone who isn’t making her own way or interested in doing that.
