[quote=Anonymous]I think to an extend, this should be expected. We spend a lot of time telling our kids that romantic relationships should be special, and we often define "special" as "lasting." It sounds like she wants to have a successful relationship because it's been taught to her that that's the important, good decision to make. I will do the dumb pop culture thing and point to the Bridgerton series for the different ways that people feel about marriage and commitment. There are some characters who eagerly embrace marriage and position and succeed and others who are less successful or step outside the lines who struggle more. Maybe your daughter is a person who values marriage and commitment. Fine. Talk to her about what she thinks is important in a marriage. Surely you have opinions based in your own values that you could share with your daughter. [/quote]
