Parent approval

2 Corinthians 6:14 "Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for whatpartnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?"If your mother is a Christian who follows religious doctrine, she, of course, wouldn't want you to engage yourself with non Christian. The role of a husband is to protect his wife's soul, make sure she will find her way into God's kingdom. How can a Christian, a child of God and brother or sister of Christ, maintain salvation when they are married to somebody who doesn't see the value in maintain morals and using God's Word as a guideline of how to live. The only right way to live is by living for God.

The better question is who do YOU want to marry? If you are living alone, then it’s none of their business. If you are underage and living in their house... I would consider telling them. Are you dating with the intention of marriage? Is it important to you to marry or date someone who’s Christian? Also.. 4 months isn’t that long... maybe your mom could meet the person and get to know them rather than make judgments based on religious or lack of religious beliefs.

If you are an adult and still living The Word then it shouldn’t matter what your parents think, only what you do. Is he trying to bring you away from your saviour? Mixed marriages are strong when there’s a foundation of love and respect for each other values. Is it easier to have the same ideals? Of course. But life isn’t meant to be lived easy. God wants us tested and pushed to our limits and wants us to turn to Him for direction and comfort from failure. If this is a good man, a kind man and isn’t making you give up ideals that you hold true, then God supports this. And he loves you no matter who you love.
