While I'm not ready or in a position to get married for the next 3-7 years, at this point in my life, I can’t help but evaluate potential dates for potential wife and mother qualities. I also can’t help but imagine what kind of family life I’d have, and how I’d want to raise my kids. My own parents have been married for over 30 years now and I can only ask them about how they met, so many times.
Among the married men who are comfortable sharing, how did you meet your wife?
What was it about her, that made you decide she was wife and mother of your children?
Why did you choose that (or those) quality above others as the most important?
What did your parents/family say about her? Was she a good fit for you/your family? Were you a good fit for hers?
Did you guys discuss how you'd raise children, have them visit family once or twice a year?
Was there any long distance in the relationship at all?
How long did you date before you married her?
What kind of wedding ceremony did you have?
Did you test her at all?
