I know that this is the marriage forum..yet, at this time..I am requesting the prayers of every married person on this board..and singles, too !! I have a very close friend whose daughter..who is not yet, 20 yrs old making immediate plans to marry a man who is more than 7 yrs older than she is. They got engaged last fall with the approval of her parents where a covenant was made..which has since been broken. As they are making plans for the wedding to take place in less than 4 months. This is the first relationship for both parties; in which he did not find "a wife", much deception and secretcy has taken place. And neither party will receive Godly counsel..premaritial class are supposed to take 3-6 months..yet, it has not taken place..or they are taking place and the parents of the young lady is being that they haven't. They are both in ministry in one capacity in one way or another; the young man has problems with rebellion, parental issues, and problems submitting to those who are older or in authority other than his Pastors. There are others things that are coming to surface; yet, when they are expressed..he shuts his hearing..which is selective..he blocks the advice that they should wait...the parents are holding out in all hope that they will wait another year. So please pray for direction, wisdom, and whatever God brings to your spirit..because she's in school and the plans they have for her completion is wild..being that her education at this time is totally paid for.
