Yes, I think you have good points there. I would listen to my parents' advice, but they'd never think of saying, "you can't marry so-and-so". They'd imply that it was a bad idea and I really shouldn't, but never forbid me to make that choice on my own.

Of course, since I don't believe in divorce, I have to be careful to make a good choice.

Sounds like you have a good relationship with your parents.

Very important!!!--and a very good argument not to be hasty, hroom. . .
