For many reasons, I have been thinking about this for quite some time. I have taught on this topic before and may need to use these questions myself someday. Quite a while ago I saw this list of questions and they have me adding some others.
Here’s a developing list for fathers to ask young men who might be interested in their daughters. I will occasionally be adding to this list, and when I do, I’ll bring the post to the top of the blog. These are not in any particular order.
- How old are you? At what age do you think you will be ready to get married?
- Do you have any debt? What is the nature of your debt?
- How do you budget your money?
- What characteristics does my daughter have that would strain your relationship?
- What characteristics do you have that would strain your relationship?
- What do you think you will do with your life vocationally?
- …..
How about:
How fast can you run when I get out my shotgun?
Fathers always like to ask that one!
How about your salvation testimony?
How about:
What kind of prayer life do you have with God?
When, how, where, how long, what do you pray?
What kind of Bible study do you have?
When, how, where, how long, what do you read?
This list developed into this lesson I taught at our church.
