Accept your relationship: You need to understand how to get your parents to accept your relationship if you are at the cross-road of denial and acceptance. You have been going out with your partner for a while. You both love each other and now, you are both ready to settle down for marriage. You have put all the necessary factors into consideration and decided that this is who you really want, that you really want to spend the rest of your life with this person.
What’s next now?
You need to introduce this person to your parents as the one you wish to spend the rest of your life with and you need to get your parent’s blessings. You see no reason why your parent would object to this relationship but unfortunately, when you do introduce your partner to your parents, they spelled a big NO for you.
Good Lord!
Your parents are not in support of your relationship. What do you do? Okay, so you try to convince them that this is what you really want, who you really love and who you are willing to become one with. But your parents won’t budge. In fact, they are adamant. They don’t want to hear nothing of it. Of course, you are sad and devastated. Many thoughts begin to run through your mind:
Should you call their bluff?
Should you run away with this person to somewhere where you can get married without their approval?
So many thoughts run through your mind and you are lost on what to do.
First of all, you need to know that your parents are the best gift the world ever gave to you. They made you who you are and you absolutely need their blessings to succeed in anything you do. Also, when parents are against their child’s relationship, it is usually because of a number of factors like religion, tribe, race, and for some parents, personal rejection. In a situation like this, you do not need to take a drastic decision that could affect you for life. You don’t need to call your parents bluff or run away with your lover.
