Ep18: Truth & Coffee Time Podcast - Should you walk your daughter down the aisle, if you do not like her mate?
Should you walk your daughter down the aisle, if you do not like her mate? That's the driving topic for this episode. So many fathers want the absolute best for their daughters, but sometimes it doesn’t turn out as planned. How do you, as a parent, deal with this reality when the outcome is a wedding?
As parents, we want to ensure that our children are getting the best opportunities and care in this life. Them choosing or having a mate that cares and respects them wholistically is a part of that hope and plea to the universe. So when a very questionable mate comes into their life, our first instinct is to protect them at all costs. This includes, not giving marital permission via actually walking them down the aisle and giving them away to an unsavory mate.
Now this episode, also tackles the flip side of this topic - what if the parent is not worthy of being the person to walk their child down the aisle? If that’s the case, the bride may not trust the parents' advice or their help in approving the mate.
What a sensitive topic, but we hope this episode helps bring a little light to this delicate subject.
