There are mistakes we must not allow our kids to make. We must try to know who our kids want to marry, and try to stop them from wrong choices - Pregnancy should not be the basis for one to marry the other.

Marriage should not be entered into in a hurry or as a cover for mistakes relating to sexual indiscipline and indiscretion (pregnancy).

There's so much pain in the world today because of marriages, and this is not what God intended.

Parents should be sincere and open up to the people and families coming to marry their children. Be friendly with the family in order to know what your children are getting into and tell the people desirous of marrying your children what they are getting into, not to scatter the relationship, but so that people can be prepared for the implications of being married to a particular person...

Just like reference letters are written for people looking for work and school, mentioning their strengths and weaknesses, parents and relatives of the couple should be open and honest enough to tell the prospective spouses what they stand to encounter as a result of the marriage...
