Planning on getting married.
2007-03-05 05:50:17 · update #1
Honestly, its not your fathers choice on who you marry or don't marry. Part of growing up is learning when to live for yourself and put aside other peoples opinions. He isn't going to agree with your marriage no matter what you do. There's no way to ever change that. So the only thing to do is accept it and move on. If you're an adult, sometimes you're going to make decisions your parents don't like.

It depends on your situation. Things like your age, how long you've known your boyfriend and his ability to provide for a family make a huge difference. Your father has experience on his side so you may want to try to understand why he disagrees with you. He could be giving you good advise which will save you a lot of pain in the future.

it is hard when our earthly father doesnt approve of anything we do, whether it is what we wear or who we marry.
Some people will say you have to honor your father... now, honor doesnt mean being a slave to him and only doing what he wants you to do. it means at times, look at what it is that you are doing... and seeing if it is reasonable or not... and if it is truly dishonoring to anyone. I do not believe that we have to marry the person our earthly father picks out... in the end, we leave our fathers and mothers and become one with our spouse, so that is what matters!

Tell him all the positive things about the person you're marrying and tell him you are old enough now and even if it ends up being a mistake,you are an adult now and you can make your own choices and learn from them.

Does this mean you haven't told him or do you want to discuss details of the wedding?
If you haven't told him, it's time to pray about it and then be honest with him. Have someone with you when you tell him. Be gentle, he is your father and loves you. Like most good fathers, he wants you to be happy...after all, you are his little girl (no matter what age you are.)
If he doesn't like the man you've chosen...why not? Are his reasons valid?
If you want to discuss details of the wedding and he's not agreeable, perhaps skipping the discussion and just moving forward is another option.
How does your mom feel about your wedding? Have you discussed any of this with her? Perhaps she could give you some pointers.

Paraphrasing St. Paul: For this reason a man will leave father and mother and cling to his bride, and the two shall become one flesh.
Encourage your Dad. Let him know that he taught you well, and that you will use his teaching in your life with your husband. Ask him to keep the door open, because you'll always be his little girl and will always need him (tear --- tear---sobbbbb --- I can't take it ---- boo-hoo). I love my Dad.
