Advice On Inter-racial Relationship: I'm British, He's Nigerian
« on: February 20, 2006, 05:57 PM »

I'm a british girl and my fiance is Nigerian currently studying in India. I was out in India with him for a while and had a great time and got along brilliantly.

My problem is, i'm concerned about how accepting of me his family is. They think that because i'm white i may leave him in his old age, or cheat on him. None of these things are even entering my mind,  i am a strong Christian and have strong values with regard to these things. My fiances brother has suggested that if his parents do not agree to the marriage then it is a sign that our relationship shouldn't occur, Gods way of telling us "no".

My problem is,  should i view all the obstacles we might have to overcome, and the possible loss of both of our families,  as a sign from God that we shouldn't be together--- or as merely an obstacle we have to overcome? I love this man with all my heart,  only God do i love more than him,  and previously my fiance had asked God many times about me and had things confirmed to him about our relationship.

I'm just really confused. Should i be with him even if our families say "no"?
he is 25, i am 23. If we marry it will be in 2 years.
i only want to do God's will-- but i don't know how i can even know what that is anymore,

He has been refused a visitors visa for the UK 3 times now. I am able to travel freely to India and have done so.

Love conquers all,keep reasuring him of your profound love for him. Get him married when next you re with him. with this the embassy will grant him visa to meet you in Uk. I wish  you  the best.

I know how you feel
My older brother's wife is white, and the other part was that  when he got married we did not know
and we found out after the marriage, the other thinkg is if it is meant to be don't worry about the brother or even his family they can not stand in the way because it's not their approval that matters, it is that of the Almighty God , i remembered you mentioned you are a christian, Keep on praying and i know God will show you what to do and how to do it.
Regarding the Visa, pray and fast about it because i know there is nothing that God cannot be able to do for you so don't worry,  and remember the bible says that "God is not a man that he should lie" .

Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord God! Behold thou art made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too difficult for thee,

Vs 27: Behold I am the Lord, the God of all Flesh is there anything too hard for me.

Stand on this Chapters and also do not pray any kind of prayers that would be calling for punishment on his family and you will see that God will intervene big time,

In the mean time i want you to visit this web site.
www. Gloriouslightcm.org  and you will be blessed.
