I'm planning on telling my parents i'm moving out, i'm 18 years old, and yes i am legal to do what i want but i'm not that kind of daughter who wants to just bail out on home.
I'm planning on moving to a different state where me and my boyfriend are wanting to get married. Not knowing how my parents would take that, I'm just going to explain to them about how i'm leaving and then if they go for me moving out, my boyfriend and i will talk more about marriage. But my question would be any good reference to the Bible that would help with me asking them. I found a couple of verse that talk about marriage.
So if any one has advice on telling my parents please answer.
Thank You

You don't need any scripture to talk to your parents with about what you want to do. I figure they are loving folks so say it as it is, if they love you, which I'm sure they do, they'll advise you accordingly.
But if I was in your shoes, I would first tell them that I would like to get married then hear what they have to say first. In my opinion you are still very young to get married. I know here in the west you are given the liberty at this age to do what you want, but sometimes what we want is not what God wants for us at that particular time.
I'm married with a fantastic husband and God blessed me with wonderful kids so I know what I'm talking about. The pressures of a marriage are not that simple to cope with, and I don't think you have to marry the first guy that you fell in love with because at your age feelings and emotions do play a great part and many times they can be deceiving.
So I would say do it the honorable way, wait until you are ready and you are sure that you want to get married not from the pressure of leaving home and being idependent and may leaving with your boyfreind because, believe me, you will enjoy the freedom and the sex etc but it does not end there, that is the beginnning and more will be required of you and at your age I don't think you need to put yourself through all that pain and stress now. I have seen many that marry at your age and as fast as they marry is as fast as they get divorced.
Take your time, serve the Lord, enjoy your youth and in God's perfect timing you will know when you are ready to leave the nest.

If you are going to stick to the bible, stick to it all the way. Are you and your boyfriend planning on moving in together before you get married? That is not in the bible. If you are getting married first, I do not see any problems. It is right for a newly married couple to have their own place.

As a good and obedient daughter, since you are only 18 years old, you ought to tell your parents about your proposal with your boyfriend. It is for your own welfare and good.

there is no biblical way to explain you living with your boyfriend before marriage. Your parents will probably not accept that, so just tell them and do what you want.

There is no Bible scripture you can use to justify moving in with your boyfriend. Get married FIRST, and then you can move out and live with him. Otherwise, it is not supported by the Bible. (Sorry)

Just be honest with your parents and let them know your situation. And Then see what they think, whatever the reply from there, you still gotta obey your parents. But its up to you to obey or not.

well the prodical son. except in your case a daughter. in this parable the son left home and made a life for himself but returned to his father . you are not deserting your parents, you just need to live your life that is all.
