The truth is that the best chicks are the ones you steal. A virtual war bride. You aren't marrying her friends or family. The truth is the a woman wants a strong man who she sees as someone she can leave those people for. Someone with whom she can start her own family.

Should her family still be in her life, of course. But they should hardly be the center and should also be of little influence. If you're unable to crush the most negative whispers they put in her ear, you're not the one she should breed with.
