[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason that you wait until engagement because it is just that: a decision to marry in the future. It is not a marriage contract, it does not exercise any enforceable order or law, and you can stop the marriage process without penalty. Period. If you’ve been married, or have a child, you understand that implications of dating. In the long run, and big picture, this is a healthy thing to do for your child.[/quote]

Man here - I’d wait a long time before meeting a woman’s child but no way would I get engaged without having met them. And I can’t imagine a woman would say yes to a proposal unless she felt I got along with her child. [b]Once we started talking about a possible future together [/b]meeting the child would become a priority. If she said “we have to get engaged before you meet my child” I would likely not ever meet her child. [/quote]

We are saying the same thing: waiting a long time to meet a (wo)man’s child is good to do before marriage and a “formal” engagement. When you decide you want to share a future togerher, or decide you want to explore the possibility, then you bring your delicate children into the fold. It isn’t a secret prior to, but kids shouldn’t be forced out in stage 1-3 of the vetting process either.

Besides - What man asks a woman to marry him when he is uncertain about whether she will? [/quote]
