Not to go all biblical on you because I’m hardly a role model *but* it would seem a wiser tack for them to show her the compassionate love of Christ and accept her into the family.
Not all ‘shack ups’ are permanent.
I’ve been married to mine for 11 years but we’ve been together for 19.
My parents accepted him and lo and behold, *I* gave into the marriage deal.
After the first marriage, I wanted nothing to do with chains around my neck ever again.
Things change.
Love makes them change faster.
God bless you both.
They can't get past the "living in sin" part. Said I am living a immoral lifestyle. They are ultra fundmentalist . It was rammed down my throat since I was a little kid, no premarital sex etc. Very strict upbringing. One reason why I never told them about my GF for 1 1/2 years I knew the shiiite was going to hit the fan. (They live in another state)
We think they went to the extreme thinking I would pick them over her. Not going to happen. Besides lovers we are truly best friends-have been way before we became romantically linked. Have all the same interest in life.
Other couples who know us have told us not to let the age difference get between us and some have said they wish their relationship with their significant other was as strong as ours.
