Should a Woman’s Family Upbringing Influence Your Choice of a Wife?

Before committing to marriage, some men believe it is important to observe the family patterns a woman grew up with. The focus should not be on her mother’s appearance, career or manners at social gatherings. Pay attention to how her mother communicates with her husband, handles disappointment, relates to money and accepts responsibility when she is wrong.

A woman can reflect on unhealthy patterns, reject them and build a different kind of relationship. What family traits do you think are worth observing before marriage?
