Here are some steps to take when your parents reject your choice of partner:
- Reflect on yourself and your relationship, considering your parents’ reasons for rejection as a potential wake-up call.
- Practice patience and avoid making impulsive decisions or entering into a disobedient marriage. Wait to understand what message the situation holds.
- Pray and commit the decision, actions, and circumstances to God, seeking wisdom to handle the situation.
- Seek guidance from a qualified marriage counselor or pastor, rather than relying solely on friends who may be biased.
- Stay persistent if you firmly believe you are making the right choice, as your resolve may eventually influence your parents’ perspective.
- Apply wisdom and avoid blaming or engaging in regretful actions. Do not join your partner in disrespecting your parents or resort to pregnancy to gain approval.
- Foster open communication with your parents, expressing your thoughts and reasons for your choice. Assure them that they won’t regret your marriage.
- Handle the situation diplomatically, respecting your parents as commanded by God. Seek the help of their trusted friends, pastors, neighbors, or family members to mediate conversations.
With God’s grace, your parents may eventually be proud of your marriage.
