Family’s advice
John went to go and see his parents before he planned to ask Katie to marry him. At first, they didn’t know what to say, they all liked Katie but they thought it was too early to be getting married. They advised him to wait a few more years to really get to know her.
He argued that if he was in love now then why wait any longer? They told him that you never really know what someone is like until you’ve lived with them for a few years at least. Then you can see if you are able to stand their behavior or adjust to being with them.
