You Want To Marry Her, Parents Dissent - What Do You Do?

It's something we're all familiar with and have encuntered over time - either by experience or having met someone passing through the throes of it. Or seen it on TV. Whichever may be the case, what would you do if it were you? It's plaguing some of my boys and I and there seems to be no way out - no compromise, no common ground. Our spouses-to-be are tearing us to bits and our parents won't let us have piece of mind - even tried match-making (yup, old-school tactics). Not quite a cry for help - just an avenue to gather more knowledge and expand the database. Kind of like didtributed thinking. throw in all you've got! Junk and all. Thanks.
