<\/a><\/p>\n1. Are you ready for this kind of commitment?<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s a straightforward question that begs a straightforward answer. Parents want to know that their future son-in-law takes marriage seriously, not merely as the next step in the relationship<\/a>, but as binding commitment \u2013 a commitment to love and to cherish in hard times and good times, \u201c’til death do us part.\u201d<\/p>\n 2. What qualities do you see in my daughter that make you believe she\u2019ll be a good wife?<\/strong><\/p>\n Parents should keep their ears open on this one as the potential son-in-law expresses what he values about their daughter. Does he value surface things like her ability to cook and her good looks? Or does he intrinsically value her character, her passions, her personality, and all of the little things that make her who she is? This is a pass or fail question that could show major red flags to parents, and it\u2019s definitely worth asking. <\/p>\n 3. How do you handle conflict?<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a fair question to ask because all marriages will inevitably face conflict, and it\u2019s a good question for the future groom<\/a> to think through. It\u2019s also an opportunity for the future parents of the bride<\/a> to be honest about how they handled conflict in their own marriages \u2013 for good or for bad \u2013 and to discuss ways that conflict can be handed appropriately.<\/p>\n 4. What are your personal and career goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n The truth is parents want to know that their future son-in-law isn\u2019t going to sit on his butt and play video games all day long. It\u2019s not that women can\u2019t be the breadwinners, but that doesn\u2019t give the guy the right to be lazy. Parents want to know if their potential son-in-law has dreams and ambitions, but more than anything, they just want to know that he will be a hard worker, no matter what career he pursues.<\/p>\n 5. Would you be willing to get marriage counseling if your marriage encountered hardship?<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course, the answer parents are looking for is: \u201cAbsolutely. I will do whatever it takes to save my marriage<\/a>.\u201d Parents want to know that the man who marries their daughter won\u2019t throw in the towel at the first sign of hardship.<\/p>\n 6. Where do you see yourself and my daughter in 5-10 years?<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes couples get so caught up in the now, that they don\u2019t think about what their lives could be like 5 to 10 years down the road, so this is another good question to get the potential son-in-law thinking about the future. There aren\u2019t necessarily right or wrong answers. It\u2019s more of a thought-provoking question for inquisitive parents.<\/p>\n 7. Why do you think you deserve to marry my daughter?<\/strong><\/p>\n
