Daddy Lesson #3: Here is what to look for in the person that you marry:
-The purpose of life (Daddy Lesson #1) is to have children. So the most important characteristic in the person you marry is that they want to have lots of children. The purpose of marriage itself is to create a safe and loving family environment to have and raise children.
–Trust. Marriage is not a ridiculous Disney movie. The most important thing in the person who will be your partner for life is that you can trust them without question. You need to be able to leave your infants alone with this person and know they will take good care of them.
–Reliable. They do what they say they are going to do.
–Honest. They tell the truth.
–Hard working. They will be willing to do all of the hard work with you that life takes to be successful.
–Kind. They should treat you right.
–Intelligent. They need to be able to solve problems with you, and life throws some very hard problems at each of us.
–Healthy. Notice I didn’t say “Hot” or “Supermodel”. You don’t want to marry someone who is too skinny or too fat to be healthy. Having children and doing hard work requires a good healthy body.
–No drugs or alcohol. Nothing derails a life like drugs and alcohol do, I can attest to that from firsthand and secondhand experience. Avoid people who use and abuse these.
