Best Answer

Adam Pontipee was a backwoodsman, and his way of life didn't enable him time for a lengthy courtship and engagement. Milly fell in love with him the first time she saw him and didn't have "sinking feelings" like she did with the other men who wanted to marry her.

In Seven Brides for Seven Brothers why was Milly tough?

Milly was born and raised "proper and immaculate" and she even chopped wood - she didn't realize at the time she was "Pontipee" material because she was such a hard worker. Her parents were dead and she lived with a minister's family. When she married Adam Pontipee and he brought her home to meet his 6 younger brothers, she knew she had her work cut out for her: 1. She cleaned the house and washed and mended their clothes 2. She told the brothers to "clean themselves up and shave" and she taught them proper table manners 3. She taught the brothers how to behave in polite society 4. She taught the brothers about girls and women 5. She kicked BOTH her husband and his brothers out of the house and sent them to eat and sleep in the barn with the rest of the livestock when they kidnapped their future brides 6. She kept the girls in the house with her and took care of them 7. She had the girls act as midwives when she gave birth to her daughter, Hannah Milly's toughness was REALLY tough love.


In the movie Seven brides for seven brothers did Adam Pontipee truly believe a wife was just a cook and clean?

Adam Pontipee insisted to Milly, his new wife, that it was only PART of the reason he married her - it's a hard life in the backwoods, and husbands and wives have to work alongside each other to survive. Even though the first thing he saw her do was chop wood and he tasted her cooking and loved it, he thought she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen.
