How are you doing modeling a healthy marriage relationship to your teen? Even if you aren’t currently married, what impression does your teen get from you about being married? Parents, you are your teen’s role models when it comes to healthy relationships. That doesn’t mean they can’t ever see you have a disagreement (teens have an uncanny ability to spot insincerity a mile away), but it does mean you should examine the over-arching impression you give your children about marriage. Is it positive? When was the last time you said something positive about your spouse or about marriage in front of your teen? The point is, teens need to know that marriage is something to look forward to and that it’s worth waiting for.
