Would You Date Someone With a Strained Relationship With Their Family?
Our current bachelor, Jason Mesnick, got down to business last night when he traveled to the hometowns of the four remaining contestants to meet their families. As we all know, meeting someone's parents has the ability to explain a lot — we sure got some great insight last night! But I couldn't help but feel differently about Melissa once I learned that her parents were not willing to support her on the show, and that her friends had never even met them before!

Since Christmas is just days away, I'm sure most of you in relationships will be putting in some quality time with each other's families.

Do Tell: What Thanksgiving Drama Are You Dreading?
Ah, Thanksgiving, a time to get together with family and friends, eat entirely too much food, and dredge up drama that manages to stay dormant most of the year.

Relationship Protocol: Can You Share a Bedroom While Visiting Family?
Our parents' generation is typically more conservative when it comes to sex and cohabitation before marriage, so when visiting them with your significant other, discussing the sleeping arrangements can be a bit awkward for all involved. I know many parents who believe that under their roof, their rules apply regardless of the situation back home; but others simply choose to turn a blind eye.
Since many of you will be traveling to visit family in these next few days, tell me, will you be allowed to sleep in the same room as your significant other?
Relationship Protocol: Whose Family Are You Closest To?
Although I do know some couples who are distant from both their sets of parents, most couples I know are close with at least one person’s family. Whether it’s a matter of distance or similar personalities, sometimes it’s just natural for a couple to be more tightly knit with one person’s family over the other's. As a couple, whose family are you the closest to?
