OP-Ed
Wait to Date?
by Baila Sebrow
Reprinted from
Five Towns Jewish Times
Question:
I am having a major disagreement with my husband and mother-in-law about my daughter. She is home from seminary for almost a year, and, so far, I have been holding her
back
from dating. I want her to be a little more mature and experience the world before she gets married. I want her to have a career. She is presently in college, and she is seeing that all her friends are dating; some of her classmates have already gotten married. So she also wants to get married.
My mother-in-law and husband are furious with me for holding her back. My mother-in-law says that girls and boys who are 30 and not married are not normal, and if I hold her back from getting married, she will turn 30 and not be normal. She says that in front of my daughter, and my husband agrees with her, too. She says that she can talk like that because her children got married young.
I got married young and never had the chance to live life, and I want so much more for my daughter than I had. I want her to be able to finish college and have a career. Plus, everywhere I go, I see young divorced people, and I don't want that to happen to my daughter. Am I wrong here?
Response:
I think that every person involved in your predicament might be wrong here.
