Im going to try and make this short but a bit of a back story..

About almost 4 years ago I started talking to this guy through social media , when we started talking to me it was just a friendship, my intentions were just to be friends and nothing more over the course of talking I began to grow feelings and when I noticed this was happening I began to pray about it because I didn’t want to continue feeling something for this guy if it wasn’t going to be something that could work out. Over the course of time my feelings for him began to grow and ended up telling me which he confessed he had been having feelings for me too. We both grew up Christian and we still want to go about our relationship based on what we know God wants from us. We talked about surrounding our relationship around God and praying about it. When we talked about starting our relationship he had told me that he didn’t want to tell his parents just yet because of the nature of our relationship being that it all started through social media which I understood (btw he’s 26 and I’m 27) Fast forward up to 3 days go he told his mom about us and as expected she didn’t talle it well and thinks it’s not healthy for the both of us which then they also talked about considering it may not work because it might not be something God will allow for us. Now I understand that but I know what I feel for him as well as he knows what he feels for me. I want to continue our relationship and still surround it around God and do everything right which is why we wanted his parents to know about us, thought I know it took time for him to tell them, his mom is just more concern it’s long distance.

What I guess I’m asking here is what do you guys think as far as if it will work or not?

I believe in my heart it will if we both want this and if we both are willing to but I feel like based on everything his mom told him he doesn’t know.

I met my husband through social media. We've been married for almost a year. And I have to say, each month is better and better. Im Still learning how to submit to him and how to live him. He still learning to love me like Christ loves the church. I'm 34 Years old and I pray this bless you. Before we started courting, we prayed and fast we make sure it was God's will for us to get married. He is from Baltimore and I am from Texas, and after 3 months of getting to know each other he came to visit me. And after one month he moved to Texas, in January he proposed to me. I think if he truly loves you he will make a way for you and him to be together. I think he is old enough to make his own decisions. Another thing is I don't think Christian couples should wait too long to get married. The world will tell you its better to wait but no. Its not! Some people were telling me it was too soon. I prayed and I know it was God's will for us to get married ... Pray and see if this man it's from God. Before I met my husband the enemy sent me a distraction. I met another christian who I thought he loved the Lord but God revealed to me that he was not the man he had for me, so I obeyed and right after I stopped talking to this man I met my husband . I love my husband he is everything I always wanted . .. I pray you make the right decision because marriage is forever. .make sure this is not just a feeling or if its truly love ...

I don’t understand why his mother is saying the relationship won’t work 🤷🏾‍♀️. You’re both Christians. You both want to live your lives scripturally. You’re both at a great age to get married. You both love each other. She hasn’t even met you yet has she?

A few things have happened since I posted this. Nothing crazy or bad I guess you can say but more like we are really praying a lot about our relationship because we both do want to be together and we want things to work between us but for me it’s also like I want overall his mom to get to know me and I know right now it’s hard for her to be like okay this is okay (idk if that makes sense lol) To answer your question no we have not met but I also want to give her time to process what she’s feeling about us and I understand it’s like “we’ll your in a relationship with him not with her” but my view on all of this is that I want to truly whole heartedly be with my boyfriend because I truly do love him but with him comes his family as well as mine and I don’t expect her to be like “okay I love her for you yes be with her” I just want her to at least be like “I see you love her and I see your guys’ relationship and if this is what you truly want for you than okay I support you”

Only God knows if it will work out or not. And his mom saying that "God won't allow you two to be together" is way out of line, she can't speak for God.Have you guys ever met in real life?

We haven’t because I didn’t want to make that decision before his parents knew about us. I wanted to do things right and have him let them know about us first

Long distance is hard. And talking over social media is different than talking in person. Do you talk on the phone? Is one of you okay moving to wherever the other is if you decide to get married? Because if not, there's no point in continuing. But if you are then maybe it's worth talking on the phone instead of social media and then meeting up with person to see how you really like each other when interacting in person. I don't think God cares how you meet so that shouldn't impact anything.

We talk on the phone all the time, FaceTime all the time, we talked about future wise moving and both of us have said we are willing to
