A father writes about a nagging wife driving their children away. He asks how to stop his daughter from marrying a much older man. The columnist urges talking with the daughter and testing the relationship for a reasonable period before risking a potentially unhappy marriage.
The writer asks if the daughter could gain employment away from home or attend a school for several months. The aim is to provide a long break from the mother’s sharp tongue so the girl can decide whether her happiness depends on remaining with the older man.
The text notes twenty years is a long gap to bridge yet not impossible. Parents face limits in guiding a child’s romance as youth seek independence and may resist parental interference. Avoid antagonizing the daughter to prevent a rushed marriage she might otherwise avoid.
