dating problem with parents

[c_vero00]

Well like someone said, if you are not ready to marry why date. Dating, well I know how it felt when my parents told me I couldn't date. To them age didn't and does not matter. This dependency I had with my parents sometimes I didn't know when I should obey and when I shouldn't. Now that I'm 25 I still have that fear. Though I think that if you put God in the center of your choices, he will lead you the right way. At this age is not longer disobeying is more of respecting the opinions of our parents. Maybe we will make mistakes, but I think is better to live the life that God wants us to live than the life our parents want for us to live. If you follow what God wants you to do then you will only obey him and respecting the opinion of others. From what I know of the christian men, here is that they date only when they really, really know that is the woman they want to marry. Pray to God. He will lift the weight that you carry in you. If you go to him he will give you the love that you seek.

Sounds to me like your mom and dad still want to change your pampers.
Everyone here is saying honor your parents wishes, which is easy for them to say because they probably still live under their roof. You don't. The Bible also says a man must leave his parents to find a wife! Time to be a man.

God will let you know n.

With time, and with a steady diet of good Christian fellowship & teaching, you will gradually learn what to look for in a wife. Also, read the last chapter of Proverbs from time to time. It describes many of the qualities of a godly wife, so it will give you some guidance to evaluate the women you meet in the future.

Thanks! I've never read the end of Proverbs yet so I guess I should start reading that.

As far as knowing when to give your life to another is by going to the bible and finding out the qualities of a good wife. You pray to God that he will provide such a woman with those characteristics. As other have said, then you will know its time to make a choice. Just don't try to feel the emotional gab that you feel right now, Let God take care of it.

You will be over whelmed with love. If the girl that you have been observing has the qualities God has for a woman then you know its God's chosen woman for you. That is when you know you have made a great choice for a wife. You are young and concentrate first on yourself, emotionally, spiritually developing your relationship with God. Lots of self-esteem build up. Remembering You are important to God, we all have trials but do not let them bring you down.

Don't be afraid of your parents, just respect, do as God tells you, rejoice even in the sacrifices you have to make, eventually you will have happiness. At one point in time we all know how it can get with parents. At my age sometimes I'm still afraid even on the simple things. Though with God I'm working on it while continuing to remain respectful to others and my family.

Lots of luck and prayer!
