## Resource

Mark and Janie discuss the phenomenon of parents who prevent the marriage of their children, when all the factors of the relationship, and each individual are in good order. There seems to be an upward trend of parents interfering or prohibiting their child from making the marriage decision. This episode is not about parents interfering in relationships with big red flags, rather, when there seems to be no real red flags.
