They say that if you want to court a lady, then you must court the parents first. Big detail in the past, but can still be quite useful even up in modern 20th Century. I mean, the line has a point. It’s not only the girl (or the guy, in the lady’s case) that you are marrying; you are also marrying INTO their family. That means gaining their favor, acceptance and approval before you can take your beloved’s hand and walk down that anticipated aisle.
Just like with business propositions, there’s an unwritten rule that one always follows when starting your own businesses; always let your family know about it. You may choose to disclude them from your business, but never, ever keep them from the dark (especially when your significant other is involved with managing your family’s financial issues as well).
