How to propose marriage to our parents?

I don’t know if my advice will mean much to you cause I’m only 18. However, do it the best way you think is possible. Do you think you wont get blessings from your side and hers? or just one side of the family? It shouldn’t matter what they want. It’s what you guys want. You’re in love. And like I said, do it the best way you think is possible What are their thought about you guys as of right now? Just being boyfriend and girlfriend I mean. And they should be more blessing to you because your not getting married for the wrong reasons, your getting married for all the right reasons.

I know it’s important to receive your parents blessings, but keep in mind, that even if your parents don’t agree to this union, they can’t stop you.

Too often, parents make decisions for their children that adversely affect the rest of their lives. Your parents don’t know what makes you happy - only you know that. So while a blessing would be nice, you stick to your guns and be with the person you love.

All you can do is come out with it…the worst they can do is disagree.

I’m just curious as to why you would think there would be a negative reaction? Has something happened in the past? Do they not like you? There has to be more to this story than you are telling us.

That being said - while their blessing is a nice gesture it is not needed for you two to get married. You are both adults and have to make choices for yourself in life now. Nothing bad can come from asking - so they say no - who cares. Your way over 18 years old and you can make your own decisions in life. They will come around in time.
