[quote=Anonymous]I think one of the big advantages to a matchmaker/parental involvement is that they will ask the hard questions many people are afraid to ask, or don’t think to ask. Like:

How will you provide for the family?
How will you parent your children?
What is your reputation?
What are your debts?
What is your character?
How do you envision married life?
What are your expectations for sex throughout the marriage?
What are your views on money?

They are also able to more clearly see the red flags, like a man who may not have a great reputation, or who is more frivolous with money, or who will expect his wife to do the bulk of parenting and housework (plus provide income). Like I had no idea in my 20s that a man who didn’t own a cutting board and couldn’t cook would morph into a huge problem during marriage.

So maybe there’s a way to combine both - to let people decide for themselves, but teach them what questions yo ask, empower them to ask those questions, and teach them what red flags to look out for. [/quote]
