I am a Christian man who was recently engaged to a wonderful missionary woman. She and I both believed God had brought us together, but when I asked for her father's permission to marry his daughter, he denied it. I gave my word that I would respect his wishes, but I honestly never expected this.
I came from a very bad background. My family was disfunctional and abusive, I grew up on the streets, and spent nearly 15 years in prison. I can certainly understand why any man would be apprehensive about me marrying his daughter, but I am now a Christian, I've been called to be a minister, and he is a minister himself; I thought he would atleast want to get to know me and let God lead him in his decision. But instead, he just closed the door without even speaking to his daughter about it first. I cannot help but feel he is judging me and I don't know what to do. I am a man of my word and I ended the relationship as promised. But I feel there has to be something else I could do.
