How to tell my parents about my LDR?
Posted : 5 Apr, 2013 07:36 AM

I have yet to tell my mom about my new LDR and I'm a bit scared. See she's kind of old fashioned and a bit protective of me. I'm 23 years old but she seems to think my sister has to constantly protect me from everything. The guy is a wonderful man and we've talked very frequently..He is a true Christian and I just know my mom would love him once she knew him. How can I smooth this over with my parents? My dad is pretty nonchalant about stuff so he might take it well but my mom might freak. I can show her what he's all about and I want her to listen to me calmly.

I would just tell her and let her freak. She will calm down and then ask her if we can discuss this like rational adults. Since you are a adult I know you respect your mom but ultimatly it is your decision and you desire for you mom to be informed.



So let her know that you are more informing them of your decision and ask for any wisdom they might offer. Thank them for their wisdom and concern and reasure them you will take it before the Lord.



They will not know this guy like you do and expect some critical remarks. I know first hand since I have enjoyed a 7000 mile relationship for over 2 years. We are planning on being married this summer.



It takes a truly commited and trusting couple to endure the riggors of a long distance relationship. Their are some really great bennifits that come along and I know you will discover them also.



Regardless reassure your family that you desire Gods will over fear and prejudice and you are in the process of discovering His will for your life as you surrender and seek His face.





In Christ alone,



Michael
