jessybarbie: Reasons why Couples 'elope' may include the feeling of been completing in love and caring less about others. A relationship is about the two people involved that's why the bible said 'the man will leave his parents and be with his woman forever till death'

sexkillz: Not only is eloping a very bad idea, it also shows that the two people eloping are extremely childish and unreasonable. If parents are against your union, for any reason apart from religious, there is nothing better than respectfully explaining your stand to them and letting them know you have to be with each other. Handling the issue as maturely as possible.

sexkillz: Did the bible also encourage eloping?

tpacalipse: When your parents are against ur union, make sure it is not multivated by selfish reasons. Most of the time thay ain't gat good reasons at all. And for the fact that some failed as elopee does not mean their parents were right in the first place. They would probably fail if they had lsiten to their parents in the first place. If I am going to fail, let it be frm my own decision but for me to fail based on the advice of others, very embarssing and I won't take.

There are some parents that are just stubborn. When I say stubborn, I mean it will take almost a death occuring event to change their view point.
When you meet such parents, the best you can do is to move away from where they are or where their eyes can reach you.

I have heard of cases where brides parents will reject both husband and their grand children.

ITbomb: The feeling of love can make people insane.
Only people who are madly in love do elope

Must everything be written in the bible, why did God give each and everyone of us a "common sense"

sexkillz:

What if I report you for abducting/kidnapping my daughter? Is that a better outcome?

sexkillz: Common sense encourages eloping as the last option?

sunny t:

Doesnt that mean u dnt trust ur parent's judgement? Anyway, if my parents say NO to my union, i will ask them to convince me, we shd sit and share logic. I trust them

eagle,eye:


There are cases of parents reporting the child's boyfriends to the police even when they have never contmplated eloping.
Eloping is not the best option, but moving away from the opposing parents may be a sensible option.

Abrantie:

Most (not all) lovers who didn't elope had come to regret their actions, I’ve seen many like that and there is something about love, it ends in regret (not all times)

cyril83: Eloping has its advantages and disadvantages, and couples who might want to elope should think before they take the plunge

eagle,eye:


I believe you have not seen or heard cases of people being opposed based on sentimental reasons.

"He is too short ___ short people are normally temperamental".

she is from Ijebu ode, those people are normally high sense people.

sexkillz: I need a rundown of the advantages and disadvantages of eloping. Let's all see if the disadvantages will not outnumber the advantages by a very wide margin. . . Lol.

cyril83: You may be right but one has to consider the consequences of Unfulfilled Wedding Dreams by not eloping

Smartie gurl: Some persons here amuse me. . . . . . When you eventually elope and maybe at the end of the day thngs becomes difficult for you two.. . . . . .lol. .i wonder who you wil run to. Your parents that were against your love affair? Your friends? Jst curious.

sexkillz: A broken courtship is better than a broken home. . .

Besides, no one has deemed your wedding dreams "un-realizable". But you won't even achieve that dream by running away like a fugitive and hiding from people who love you.

Stand your ground and thrash issues out and win the admiration of your parents.

Leave the eloping for teenagers Wey Neva sabi wetin life or love be.

These days we are celebrating divorced cases of once a big society wedding, having the blessings of both parents.
If it were true love devoid of interferences.... I doubt divorce will be so rampant.

segun688: the issue of eloping or not eloping is a very personal one. I have seen marriages that had blessings and approval from friends, parents and everyone go down in shambles, i have also seen people that stood their ground still happily married till today. Marriage is a very personal decision, and i personally feel that the issue of "parental blessings" are over stressed. I am not saying their blessings should be discarded or not sought out, but you should realize that at the end of the day YOU alone are in the marriage. YOU are the one living with your spouse, it doesn't get any more personal than this. Approval from people doesn't guarantee success in marriages. What matters is God and the man and woman involved.
