Remember to tell him he is in charge and encourage his sweetheart to enjoy cooking and cleaning etc as she will be doing all of it while he enjoys watching the ballgame or playing cards with the guys.
He can encourage the wife by a gentle tap on the rear end as she is vacuuming the rug etc.
When in public he can call her babe or introduce her as my little women or the ol ball and chain.
She can in return ask him to sign the rather large life insurance policy with double the amount given if he has an accident....
Someone like that makes for a great daughter-in-law.
Tell him to make a romantic proposal - something surprising, well organized and memorable. It seems important to the millennials I know, and his wife will always remember it.
I was poor, young and stupid when I proposed. My wife doesn’t mind, but its my only regret in our long marriage.
Another question to consider: are YOU ready for your son to be tied to his wife’s family?
Our son used to include us in information about his life. Now, not much at all. My DIL is, naturally, more comfortable with her mother, and my son spends his spare time, properly, with his family. Somehow, though, my husband and I got pushed out.
I was prepared to welcome a daughter-in-law. I wasn’t prepared to lose my son. I also understand this is often the case with sons.
Marriage is great... i would do it again if i had to.
mind you, with a whole different woman, but i’d do it again.
Congratulations.
He's 25 years old. If you did your job right, he has been ready for some time.
