Jacob's Valentine's Day Advice

After 102 days of kindergarten, Jacob is now ready to dispense some great relationship advice and just in time for Valentine's Day. (If it helps, feel free to play some Barry White in the background as you read this.) On the way to school this morning, Jacob shared with great concern that a young girl in his class said she hated him and another boy who were playing together. He said he attempted to discover why, but she would not say, only that she hated him. But Jacob then reveals that he believes she was just angry because he was playing with this boy and not her. He then said, "You see, she's attracted to me. But I don't love her. I think she has bad luck and I don't want to be around people with bad luck." He goes on to say, "She keeps asking me to marry her but I told her she has to wait until she's a grown-up, but she keeps asking. But Dad, I think I know why you shouldn't marry someone who is bad. Samson in the Bible married a bad woman and she cut off all his hair and he lost his strength. So, you shouldn't marry anyone who is bad."

I don't think Jacob was insinuating that this girl in his class was bad. With that aside, his advice is as follows:

Just because someone is attracted to you doesn't mean you have to like them. (In other words, both people have to be on board in a relationship, or it is obviously not a relationship.)

Be a grown up before you get married. (In other words, be mature.)

Don't marry a bad person, they will cut your hair and you'll lose all your strength. (Or, a bad spouse will suck the life right out of you! Besides, who wants a bad haircut?!)

So, now none of us have any excuses for being in bad relationships! The "Ladies' Man" has spoken!
