@ ozi, no one is saying you shouldn't give it a try, just that you might end up trying to please your parents. |
Re: Can Your Parents Choose Your Spouse for You? by nicetohave(m): 3:42pm On Dec 20, 2005 |
what is wrong with pleasing ones's parents? Ive had a relationship broken up because her parents didnt approve of me. |
Re: Can Your Parents Choose Your Spouse for You? by DEKING3(m): 4:22pm On Dec 20, 2005 |
@ nicetohave: Please just read part of my earlier post below:- DE-KING: I boldened "trying" just for the sake of emphasis. You are not supposed to try to please your parents rather, you should please them when and if you have to, but not at the expense of your happiness. There's nothing with you trying to please your parents. Okay? Hope I've clearified things. |

I will not let my parents choose a spouse for me, their advice would be welcome, but not as in...like forcing me on the guy,like I must marry him or something even when I am not in love with him, they wouldn't do that anyway. |

I would never let them choose for me, at the end of the day its my life and they need to let me make decisions for myself. Although the decisions i make may be mistakes, they need to let me learn from my mistakes. |

As well as i respect my parents, i dont think they are good enough to choose for me who i will spend a life time with. They are only qualified to suggest and not to choose. |

i don't think that they are to mchoose for me whom to spend my life with but they can be of good help to advice and give opinions about my love life........... |
Re: Can Your Parents Choose Your Spouse for You? by Rolly: 12:03am On Jan 04, 2006 |
cheekee: i agree with u |
Re: Can Your Parents Choose Your Spouse for You? by kenflavor(m): 8:59am On Jan 04, 2006 |
There is nothing wrong when they choose. It is only wrong when they say you must marry the person they have chosen for you. I will be very glad to know who ever my parent recommend, after getting to know the person very well, then proposal may then come thereafter, if she possesses those qualities I want from a woman. |

Choose my spouse for me? Now, that's just pushing it. They chose the clothes I'd go to church with, then choose my spouse for me? No way. I love them....infact, too much. But the love goes as far as to say that at whatever age, I'm old enough to make my own choices, then I can deal with the consequences of that myself...whether good or bad. In a nutshell, no way! |
Re: Can Your Parents Choose Your Spouse for You? by Outkast(f): 5:19am On Jan 07, 2006 |
Naah, my folks no better. If they choose my spouse, they might as well run the rest of my life including the marriage |
Re: Can Your Parents Choose Your Spouse for You? by 2nde(m): 5:19am On Jan 07, 2006 |
My parent wont even try it, i trust them. They are not the type though. Even if they are, they know their child is very sick |

Re: Can Your Parents Choose Your Spouse for You? by wascoms(m): 2:26pm On Jan 15, 2006 |
actually what we should all understand is that, this particular man/woman that they've chosen for u is not somebody you really know and before you marry anybody you have to know the person to some extent. to me in this case i will never allow my parent to choose a woman for me, because I'm the person that is going to marry and live with her, so i know the kind of woman i want to marry and already i have no reason to accept the woman they brought for me. this is like interfering in your marriage,home and so on, because actually they will always want to know everything that is going on between both of you |
Re: Can Your Parents Choose Your Spouse for You? by Ashbaby(f): 6:20pm On Jan 19, 2006 |
wascoms:True that! |

this will be my response: Mum, Dad if na joke make u stop am |
Re: Can Your Parents Choose Your Spouse for You? by Ashbaby(f): 4:56pm On Mar 23, 2006 |
loriann:I can honor them by communicating my feelings with them, and if they won't understand, I am an adult, even with parents, in God's eyes, so if my lack of acceptance of a spouse is out of spite, that will be judged differently by God. I think. |
Re: Can Your Parents Choose Your Spouse for You? by retro(f): 8:40pm On Jul 12, 2006 |
Hell no. I want to be able to choose my 'husband'. |
