My fiance and I have been together now for almost 3 yrs. Im almost 19 and hes 21. We have been disscussing the issue of getting married for quite awhile and he proposed last weekend! The thing is we want to get married over Christmas break. We are both in college right now, but we are at different ones. I plan on trasferring to a community college near him to earn some type of degree.
Our original plan was to wait till we were both done with school.. but we both really want to repent to his church. Im not from his church, but we are both of the Christian faith. His church is much more concervative than most Christian churches, so in order to repent and still be together we have to be married...
He broke this news to his parents last week and they were thrilled. His parents were married and repented right after they graduated college, so our age was no big deal to them...but when i broke the news to my parents they flipped! They completly dissaproved. They said that I am to young to be making these kinds of dicisions and we wont be able to survive finacialy. Their biggest complaint was about me repenting to his church. They do not agree with the things that one must do to join the church and think it would be embarrassing to have their daughter be a member of it.
I know that this is the right decision for me.. we are doing it for the right reasons.. We are not worried about the financial part. His parents and grandpa will be more than willing to help us out, and we already know somewhat where we could live. I love his church and it was my dicision to want to join now. it just really scares me not to have my parents blessings. I really want to know if im making the right decision doing this. I believe they will come around eventually tho..
