Reply To: Saying No to a Marriage Proposal

I don’t think people say no generally because you have a close relationship with your kids. People say no because they think you have an unhealthy relationship with your kids or if you haven’t worked out how the other person will play a role in the lives of your kids and in developing a new family unit. The only kind of people who say no to someone close with their kids are the kinds of people who don’t really want to be with someone, lechatchila, who has kids.
