I asked my four-year-old if they wanted to get married when they grow up and they looked at me with pure horror and said no because they do not want someone else touching their iPad all the time.
Honestly that is the most solid relationship advice I have heard in years. They have reached a level of personal boundaries and asset protection that most adults are still trying to figure out. They aren't looking for a soulmate; they are looking for a secure perimeter for their digital property.
We are out here worried about compatibility and shared values while they are focused on the real issues like screen time and snack autonomy. They really have their priorities straight from day one.
