my family don't seem to agree with my choice for G/F, and I want to marry her. How can I make them understand that this is what I want and she makes me happy!

You just need to be honest with them and tell them that she is the one for you and you plan on marrying her. Telling your family how you feel doesn't mean they are going ot be ok with it - but you need to stand firm behind what you say. They may try to talk you out of it, but you need to stay true to what your heart says.
You need to tell them they need to respect her and respect you and your impending marriage. They will see as time goes on that she makes you happy and that your life together is a testament to the love you both share.
Always remember it's what matters to you and your gf - not your family.

laws for consuming ; - constantly devour earlier than consuming alcohol because the effcts of alcohol at the frame are much less whilst youve eaten than in the event you have been to drink with out consuming! - keep in mind youre frame weight coz a one hundred lb man consuming the equal as a three hundred lb man wont be the equal , the lighter man passing out faster or feeling the consequences faster! - price of consuming concerns coz youre downing 10 beers in one million hr is assured to get you buzzed entirely , while downing the equal 10 bottles spaced out over 10 hrs , wont make a dent in youre sobriety! - alc % concerns within the beverages youre ingesting like in the united states such a lot beers are five.nine % alc , wines among eight - 14 % alc and liqours begin at forty % alc and above ! you cant down a bottle of liqour equal as one whose downing a lager !

I AM the g/f and I know what it is...it is that I live in the USA and I'm not the same ethnic as they are. They don't know me at all and they sure in the hell didn't even try to get to know me....I know that is that I am American and that I'm white...and this is the first time that I have found out that they disapprove of me, because I was never told. I just thought that that is how they are towards Americans.

Why don't they like her? Are they just being difficult or do they really see something in this girl that you may not see? Ask them about it. Find out why they don't like her. It could simply be that no one will measure up to their standards for a girlfriend for you, in which case you have to stand up for yourself and tell them that they hopefully raised you with the talents to make good decisions.

just simply tell them that this is the girl that you want to spend the rest of your life with, explain the reasons why you want to be with her, if she makes you happy and treats you well. then that should be good enough of reason for your family to be happy for you too.
even though you want your family approval, it doesn't mean you have to listen to them. you know in your heart why your with her.
its your life, you can do what you want, if this doesn't work out then you know that you've tried.
all you can do is tell them that you want to be with her and thats
it. if they aren't happy for you now, maybe they will see down the road that they were wrong in disagreeing with you. just give them time to adjust to this too.

Well, it really depends on why they disapprove of her. It's really your choice, so here's my advice: Instead of getting all defensive, sit down and listen to their real reasons for their disapproval. They might have a point. If not, make it clear that you've listened and thought about it and respectfully tell them that you have made your decision...

Try having a talk with your parents without your GF present and listen to what they have to say. You don't have to agree with what they say, but try to understand their viewpoint. You don't say how old you are or how long you have been with your GF. I would suggest that you should be at least 25 years old and have been with her for at least 2 years.
