A Mother's Advice

My Mother is supportive and loving, but tends to not be very nosey about our private lives which is nice. However, she occasionally offers us advice when it comes to women.

What to Look for in a Wife

While many people say to look for a great friend, and a partner to have an enduring relationship. Others say marry for love, romance and passion. My Mother never suggested any of these.

She did offer me this. Marry someone that loves children. If they love kids, they are kind and unselfish and will make the best life partners. She told me this when I was young and I used it as a litmus test. I have to say it was great advice for me.

DISCLAIMER

She had six children. All boys. Some people say she had six because she kept trying for a girl. Others say she had six kids because she loves babies.

I am 1 of 5 kids Paul and my mum also fostered children for years if you asked her why she would say God gave me a big heart full of love to share with her children

I do pay attention to the way men treat children, thier sisters and thier Mother. It makes since to feel that if a man loves childred there is a greater chance he will
treat you well too. So your Mom was definitely on to something. You have great
teachers in your parents.
