Is Living Together Before Marriage Good or Bad?
QUESTION: My husband sometimes gives our very stubborn seven-year-old daughter prizes for doing what she is told. The other night, for example, Juliette didnt like what I chose for her to wear the next day to school and threw a mega-tantrum. I didnt give in, but the next morning, she came downstairs saying she looked stupid and began weeping piteously, which never fails to tug at my husbands heartstrings. Without my knowing, he took her aside and told her if she wore what Mommy picked out for you, he would take her to her favorite store on the weekend (which he did, over my objections). I think this was wrong, wrong, wrong, but he insists that it doesnt hurt to do it every so often, especially if its going to restore peace to our household. Help us!
