Judges

Now Samson is trying to get married.
Samson went down to Timnah and saw there a young Philistine woman. 2 When he returned, he said to his father and mother, "I have seen a Philistine woman in Timnah; now get her for me as my wife." Order order Goodness Samson is not very respectful!
His father and mother replied, "Isn't there an acceptable woman among your relatives or among all our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines to get a wife?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me. She's the right one for me." 4 (His parents did not know that this was from the LORD, who was seeking an occasion to confront the Philistines; for at that time they were ruling over Israel.) Well his father needs to control Samson's life not just coast with what Samson wants. He is letting his son be the leader of the family. He needs to step up.
Then he went down and talked with the woman, and he liked her. Well he had not even spoken to the woman he chose her because of beauty! He has poor character.
