[quote=Anonymous]1720 again, op. 
Don’t discourage your daughter from marriage, but do make sure she doesn’t want sanctioned sex and lots of presents.  Everybody wants those things.  There is way more to marriage then that.

Second, make sure she doesn’t poop all over a guy’s interests or compare him to the dads she knows.

She doesn’t have to like or date everybody, but the worst thing she can do is sniff “That must be expensive” if a guy starts talking about something he likes.  If she doesn’t like or approve of the hobby, that’s fine, but an interest that is just expensive when the guy is otherwise stable and loving shouldn’t be belittled.  
Most men and women dial back on their hobbies once they have kids.

It isn’t healthy or reasonable to expect a guy to dial back before his wife and kids come along, women may do that, but not so much men.

If she likes a guy, he treats her well, has time for her, wants to share his passions with her, then she needs to trust that that energy and passion will be directed toward her and any children. Demmanding on the first date that he think about a family or save for the future or not waste his time is a good way to remain single. [/quote]
