Justus, My boyfriend, "Chad," proposed two months ago, but he didn't ask my parents for my hand in marriage. My parents are upset about it. When I realized that Chad hadn't gone to them, I asked him why. He said he was following what his father had done -- proposing first and then speaking to the parents. But Chad still hasn't done it. In fact, he has yet to be around them at all. How do I get my boyfriend to speak to my parents? They are no longer as angry as they were, but they still would like to talk to him. I spend lots of time with Chad's family, but I can't get him to even go to lunch with mine. Dad said that if Chad doesn't clear the air with him, he may not bother showing up at our wedding! What do I do Justus?

Michelle,
Chad is showing some real coward like symptoms and that could be signs of things to come. Your parents are old fashion but they just would like to know that they are passing you into qualified hands. If Chad is not even willing to meet with them, he may know something you don't, he's not qualified hands. He is making bad decisions and procrastinating isn't making it better. Real men are willing to look each other in the eyes to let their intentions be known. You know Chad better than anyone else, either he wants to marry you or he don't. If you have thoroughly explained to him how your parents feel and he still won't take heed, I suggest you not marry him right now. Something about him isn't right. Pray on it but in my opinion, the Holy Spirit has spoken.
