[uchechibanna]

i have a mail friend,and my relationship with him got to the extent of him asking my hand in marriage,and i accepted,but my problem is his parents have refused to give him support by asking him to marry from his place.ples what advice can you give to me cos we are very much in love.

Dear uchechibanna, you are not marrying his parents, but unless he is willing to leave them for you, it may be better rethinking your commitment; there would never be peace to you. If God wants to join you as one flesh, and there are others allowed to dictate that union according to their wants, that is why many in-laws are referred to as outlaws

Now if you are a Christian wanting to marry a non-Christian, you are not marrying equally yoked, and if you are not a Christian and he is, his parents should have plenty of concern.

Matthew 19:5-6 “And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”

May God bless you to know His will for your life in Jesus’ name – larry :)

Genesis 2:24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Sorry my last post was posted too quick. God said that a man would leave his mother and father and cleave to his wife. Love is a gift from God. And what is from God let no man put asunder. It's hard when parents don't approve, but God has given the man the choice. I will be praying for you that all works out.
Proverbs 18:22
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

God Bless You!!!
