One way to know whether the guy/girl will make a good partner is to see how he/she treats his/her family members, especially his/her parents. Do you agree?

Yes.. I try to judge their parents as much as her. Because their parents are the combined average of her. I not only see how their family interact.. but their eating behavior.. do they eat together... do they spend family time? is she closer to her mom or dad.. etc etc..
This only matters if you are looking for something serious, with today's broken society.. I like to leave nothing to chance.

Yes, I believe if the guy/girl is good with anyone especially with there parents and family. That is a good sign they will be a great partner. That means that person has morals and respect. They would make a good catch for someone!

No! I had a girlfriend who I gave here family the utmost respect, just like her if not more. There was still members of her family I could not get along with. I always treat everyone with respect, mainly family, yours or not. That was the way I was taught.

I don't agree with this statement at all.
It all depends on the relationship someone has with their family... if they have grown up in an unloving home - it does not mean they are going to be cold and heartless....
In fact they may be the exact opposite looking for what they have never had, and be warm and caring and affectionate- admiring what they have never experienced for themselves, but seen in others.
You can not judge a person by their family members
(If they have cold parents- who yell and scream and are violent- they obviously won't have the chance to show warmth and affection to them)
Each person grows to become their own. 70% of a person's personality comes from their peers and their friendships.
If you wish to judge another by anybody but themselves- it would be better to judge them in friendships rather than family.
(People choose their friends and how they interact with them- but when it comes to family- you are born into it without choice)
Family members may not be approachable....
But your friends and your relationship with them- is how you will often treat a future partner.
And how would you judge an orphan or someone who was adopted? Not by family.. but friends.

I think it is more important to see how the parents interact with each other. Remember, the way they treat each other is their first example of how a couple should behave.

I am afraid I don't agree. I know many girls who have problems with their parents but have great love toward their partners. I could be one!

Well they say that the relationship with the parent of the opposite sex is what we try to emulate in our romantic relationships. So I do agree with it but it isn't all there is to determining if you can have a successful relationship with someone.

I think to a degree this statement is true .. I am married to the love of my life and needless to say he isn't very close to his parents for a lot of reasons as well as the way they raised him. Needless to say I really can not accept them in my life now as well.. they shown me their true colors when our son died and was never emotionally there for us.

No.
I do not agree with that dating statement.
It is not as important how the guy/girl treats his/her family members, especially his/her parents as it is how THEY treat him/her.
Do you understand the difference?

ABSOLUTELY! and not only that, but how do his family members treat him? Is he spoiled?
Knowing that family is the most important treasure on Earth, if he treats his FAMILY like crap, he will treat you like crap, too....
