Families Stick Together

Heath is looking for a wife because he wants a family that will stick with him no matter what. He has decided that he should have a matchmaker find the perfect woman who will stick and teach his children to stick. Because Heath gave his love freely to too many women in his youth, he knows that giving love is guaranteed to hurt him. He doesn't want to be hurt again so he plans to withhold his love until he meets someone who meets his criteria and will prove they will not leave him.
