In this candid father–daughter conversation, we talk about what it’s like to prepare for marriage as an 18-year-old raised in a Reformed home without dating. She shares the blessings and challenges of our family’s approach, her hopes for a godly husband, and her honest reflections on exploring platforms like HelpMeetSingles.com. Together we discuss the scarcity of mature, theologically sound men, the importance of family involvement, and how Scripture shapes expectations for marriage. This is a living room conversation about faith, family, and walking faithfully in a confused age.
