Mate Selection/Engagement.

During the last class period, I enjoyed because it is true that you are careful or particular on who you want to spend the rest of your life with. You want to make sure that your family will get along with him or her and their family, so you all can be close as a family. Because just because you are marrying them you also get their family and you want to make sure that everyone gets along because then it could just be awkward at family gatherings. My previous ex before my fiance was very different he was more like a tough guy and his family was complete opposite on how they were raised than how my family was, and my mom even mentioned to me once that she felt that she would get along with his family just because they have nothing in common with her. Since I dated him before in high school she also did not like him very much either. So I think that your parents need to like who you are about to marry because that could really effect your family and how they will function when he or she comes into the family. My fiance gets along perfectly with my parents and they have already told him that they love him and what not and they are close with his parents which is also good.
