Neither of my parents came from good Christian homes. In fact, my mother came from a broken home and my father came from a home torn by fighting. If they had followed all of this criteria that you have layed out, they should never have considered each other for marriage. Neither of them had ever witnessed first hand what a good, godly marriage was. Did that make them a poor choice for the other? Surely there must be some grace given in that area. How else could they have had such a good marriage the past twenty-three years? Maybe it is possible for God to give a special kind of grace for those who have followed His leading into a marriage with someone who perhaps hasn't witnessed the perfect marriage growing up, but has chosen from the Bible to build a godly marriage in their own life. But I do agree that the way a man treats his family, particularly his mother and sisters, is a good indication of whether or not he would make a good husband. Thank you very much for the thought-provoking post! I can agree with most all of what is said in this article, but one part raised a question in my mind.

I have an older brother who is such a blessing and gentleman to me, one of my very best friends. The girl that "gets" my brother will be a blessed woman indeed! =) I agree – the way men treat their sisters is important!
