Well, my hubby told my daughter"you can't start dating until

you are 23." So in private, I asked him "do you not want your daughter to get married?" He said: What does that have to do marriage? Of course I want her to marry."

But think about it, we try to deter our kids from dating for as long as we can, telling them to focus on school and carrer. Then we expect them to miraculously grow up and know how to deal with the opposite sex at 27 and get married and live happily everafter.
