What do you do when your Dad or Mum detest of the one you love so dearly?.Will you just ignore and go on with the wedding.

First u have to prayerfully consider ur choice once again 'cos there was obviously something they saw. After that n u still do not see anything, try talking to them n prayerfully make them see reasons with u while u may employ the plea of someone close to them.

NB The truth is never go ahead without their consent, I have seen a few that went ahead like that n majority of those relationships never end up well.

To paraphrase a Yoruba proverb, if the wise counsel of elders fails to manifest in the morning, it will manifest by night time.

To paraphrase an Igbo proverb, what an elder can see whilst sitting down, a youth cannot see whilst atop a tall tree.

Heed the counsel of elders o! They usually know best.

If your parents are unreasonable and seemingly unyielding after all your efforts of trying to prove that youre with the right person, pray and ask for guidance from the heavens. They will tell u follow your heart.

They're gonna have to deal with whatever reasons they have, I ain't a slave to anyone's opinion. But I'm rational.. if I see genuineness in their reasons, then I pay heed.

Depends on the gravity of the love oooo. I remember when i was crazy in love with my first love. My parent didn't like her but i really didn't care o. Not like i was been disobedient or sorts but parents just need to understand that there are some love situations they can't have a control over. If na wife matter....... Biko na who wan dey live with the wife for the rest of him life? Parent or me??

The bottom line is that your parents have no right to dictate to you whom you should marry. I have the utmost respect and love for my parents for all they sacrifice for my siblings and I. The only time I had a disagreement with my mother was when I was getting married. Her main objection was I was not marrying from her tribe and that I was too young (23). I sat her down and told her I am done with my education , have a good job and that I like to do things earlier in life. She didn't reason with me but pop was very understanding. Went and got married anyway,. Dad was in Chicago for the wedding and mum wasn't. Its been a blast of a marital life for me and wifey and the girls. Bottom line, it's your life and your decision to make. It doesn't mean you don't love your parents. I sure won't dictate to my children who to choose for marriage.

First, you must ask ur parents for their reasons. if the reason is reasonable, dear, she isn't the only lady in the world. but if they have no reasonable or tangible reason, you must not enforce them to accept her, u will only need time and patience to convince them. You can also invite few highly respected people(that they respect ) to help u. Mind u, in a case whereby 80% of those around u rejects it, my friend, release her.
lastly, prayer can change all things, even hearts. Pray over it and let God get involved. He is the greatest solution. Thanks.

Married to an African born in America. I guess she was against it because she wants me to marry a particular girl from Lagos. Plus she thought I was too young. 20 years now and the marriage is still as good as the first day of marriage.

Parents would always want to naturally feel they have the best instincts.
Speak to them politely about the positives they feel are negatives, state your undying love for the other party, sacrifices both of you have made and all other relevant point to buttress your commitment.
Eventually, they would come around.
NB: Even if the union fails, life is all about risks!!!

Parents are more experienced than we re. Sometimes, they r some qualities they feel/see in our partners than we tend nt to notice in our partners. If they happen to tell u nt to marry the person u love, then there must be an ideal and convincing reason to b right. But, if there's none, il try to do d convincing masef.

Africans re certain type of people, that have certain type of attitiude, they re not loving at all, and we practice so much hatred, we love segregation, some parents just dont like their children marrying from a particular tribe, due to hatred for that people, they tell u, they hve bad behaviour and bad culture, but their own people re angels and re gud behaved, if u even look, u see that ur own people may be the devil that will never give gud thing any chance, so due to so much senseless hatred and divison that reigns in the black man hearts and land, the society is devoid of luv..
