Choosing a Marriage Partner

Dr. Brent Barlow teaches Marriage Preparation classes at BYU. His advice is pretty down-to-earth and appeals to my logical side. 

My daughter asked me, "Dad, how do I choose who to marry?" 

Ah, I thought, a teaching moment!

"Find a man with a job." 

She stared at me. "Is that all you've got, Dr. Barlow? Come on!"

Oops. "Okay...find a man with a job who loves the Lord."

Do you have other speeches, articles, TED talks, story books, poems, etc. that have inspired you, comforted you, or given you a reality check? Please comment and share them. Thank you!
