Good morning,


Why do you want to marry my daughter ?

A young man went to see his girlfriend's father.
He said, "Uncle, I want to marry your daughter."

The father responded, "That's fine.
Why do you want to marry her ?"

He replied, " I love her. "

"Yes, love. But love does not last, does it ?
Are you CLeaR about your love ?"

"Please elaborate, uncle."

"Are you COMFORTABLE with her all the time?
Do you LIKE her? Do you RESPECT her?"

The young man did not quite expect this.
He thought carefully about the old man's meaning.

A couple of weeks later, he faced the old man again.
"Uncle, I have thought about what you asked,
and my answers are positive.
When I am with her, I feel quite relax and at ease.
I like what she is, her behaviour and her own ways.
And I do respect her"

The father said, "That is very good.
You have a firm basis here.
But are you on AT what will come?
Many years later, can you ACCOMMODATE
her agedness, her loss of youth and beauty,
and any lack of compliance?
Can you TOLERATE all her idiosyncrasies and
inadequacies that may be easily ignored today?"

This poor young man.
He had to be careful in his reply for a second time.
This old man was not one easy to impress in spite
of all his qualities. He had never expected that
getting his consent and blessings was like this.
All along to him was LOVE for her conquers all.

Later, having figured out carefully how to put his
answers across, he faced the old man for a third time.
"Uncle, after due and careful thinking and reflection,
I have come to the conclusion that I will be able to
accommodate and tolerate my wife for as long as
we both live."

The father replied, "This is wonderful. I am all for it.
But does my daughter feel the same way about
all this like you do ? "
He added, " You have my blessings if she does !"

The young man said, "I will have your blessings now.
I have discussed all this with her and she feels the
same about all this."

"God bless you, son."

"God bless you, dad."

Have a nice day.
