That they respect themselves and only marry someone who does the same. That they find someone who prioritizes taking care of them, and do the same. Everything else is negotiable.
Oh, and they can’t marry some god damned toaster. I’ll be damned if I have AI grandkids.

Right… so as long as they have the mental capacity to choose for themselves, then age doesn’t matter…Even if it creeps you out, as long as there is mutual respect, then it’s all good, right?
The couple in this post, as long as there is mutual respect, should get the same general ‘ok’ from you. No double standards.

No no. It’s a maximum not a minimum. At MOST I would try to influence those two things. And if those couples also had ONLY that influence, then fine. Do you think that culture is configured in a way to allow for such minimal pressure?

I see where you’re coming from. I hope the kids you raise will understand how you’re trying to help them. But I know that having kids absolutely changes your plans.
Culture is whatever you want it to be in your house and your little ones will take that into the world when they’re old enough and hopefully make it a better place for all of us.
