Would you let your kids have a 'relationship' before marriage?

It’s hardest in the teens though. Thinking back to that age, your friends are a lot more influential than your parents. It’s at that point parents have to hope they did a good enough job. I’m not saying back off, but at that age, trying to stay on your child 24/7 is going to do more harm than good. Again, not saying give them free reign, but trust them to make good decisions as well.

I’m not the closest I can be with my family. Some of my best friends have done stupid things, but I haven’t been in any situation where I’m fully persuaded to do something that is morally wrong.
