I am trying to figure out what the tradition is for proposals for a second marriage when children are involved. I am aware that tradition is that the male ask the future father-in-law for permission, but what about the children? Should the children be asked, consulted, or at least be made aware of the possiblity of a proposal??? How does the age of the children affect the situation???
In this specific case, the woman has been divorced just over a year, dating for two years (the first year began right after the seperation) and two adult children. The male's children were well aware that it was a possibility and were even excited about it, while the female's children were sidestruck to say the least... What was the proper way that the proposal should have occurred???
