This would not fit with our trying to live according to Christian
morality.  However we have thought of writing a marriage book on how
to improve your communication.

The boys were great about knowing that when they grew up they would
move away and (we hope) have their own homes. Lately, they've started
talking about how when they are married they are still going to live
here. We told them thank you for wanting to spend so much time with us,
but no way. Their wives probably wouldn't appreciate having to
share a home with the matriarch and patriarch anyway. We figure we can
enjoy the fact that they want to stay so close to us while they are
young and keep teaching them so that they will want to be our friends
when they are adults, but we will be ready to relinquish the parenting
role of our relationship. When we talk to the boys about growing up we
tell them that after they finish school for whatever they want to work
as, they can get a job and get married and have children, in that order,
and on their own. We also tell them that we are praying for them to
find women that they will love more than they love us, since they will
need to be "on her side."
Regards,
Ranee
