Ok so love his books, have not read all of them yet but intend to. I have come here every once and awhile to read stuff and had a though on this topic, well not on the op's topic but who Dalinar's wife was. What if she was Vivenna, who followed vasher to Roshar, fell in love with Dalinar, had his children, and that's why he trains them. Just a though and probably completly wrong hah!
