Am in a serious relationship with a guy that has proposed,and wants to meet my parents by next month,but the problem there is that,i've briefed my parents that someone is coming to see them,after series of questions,they got to know that he's a catholic(am pentecostal), i don't have any issue with catholics,and i've even made up my mind to attend catholic after our wedding,but the problem is i don't know how to convince them,considering the fact that he's a good christian and fears God.am really confused and don't know what to do,i've not told him anything yet,because i really love him and i want to settle with him.
Your advice is really appreciated,has anyone been in this situation before,i'll also like to know how you went about it.THANKS!

Hmmm well did they say you shoul not marry her...

Madame if the situation is right your parents will not be against it.

If they are interested in your welfare and they love you they will allow.

... but if they insist you need to sit them down and let them explain their reasons to you.

in my experience about many things in life... do not overlook or discard the input of elders in matters.

In this 25th century??no no,that should'nt be an issue.'love' should be considered first.

Its really about you and what you want.

Aren't we all Christians?

Your parents shouldn't interfere in that aspect.

Sit them down and explain things to them.
Love is the most important thing.

As far as i know,as a girl you don't have a church until after you are married out of your parents house or church. So the most important thing is knowing God and not the church so let your parents do the needful which is investigating the guy in question and his family to know if the place you are going will be safe for you to enter and not about whether he's a Catholic or apostolic because that is never the main area of concentration except it's your own personal decision not to marry a catholic.

I tink she shld really pray abt it dat God shld touch d heart of her paertents if every form dialogue has refused to pull thru...


And again she shld not ignore d input of her parent in dis case...

Gone r d days wen religion is a barrier! Now it's denominations. Abeg, no b d same God dey dis churches ni? Ma dear, better accept d proposal

This what madness about denominations causes. Making people lose their life partners because of dumb reasons. Like pentecostal-pentecostal or Catholic-Catholic marriages are perfect marriages. Denominations can't determine a happy marriage!!

We need to drop this medieval belief. Well if na me, I will go ahead and marry a girl from another denomination from mine. Heaven won't fall. It's my life and choice!! My parents can't determine my wife for me.

OP...Pls let's know how the story went...Thanks!

Precious how far?, e work?

Buh OP u din put d story well na; did yur parents ask u not to marry him?

There's always a division btw catholic and Pentecostal tinz, just pray ur parent won't turn him down,
that is d first question they will ask him where do u worship if two of them disapprove it i'm sorry,
but if one of them support u, on the long run u will win.since u re not a catholic, it will be easy
but catholic parent don't allow their daughters to marry outsiders very rare dont ask me

sorry for the late update they finally accepted,we're happily married now
