Hi guys,
I come from the town that's filled with faithful Christian. My mom is a Christian, my father is a Christian. And I am a Christian. However, my girlfriend is not. I love her. We've been planning the wedding and suddenly my mother disapproved. She thinks that the marriage is not worth it, that I won't be happy. I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place. My mom and my gf, both are important to me.Mom has been taking care of me ever since my father lost his ability to provide the family.
What should I do?

Hi! Welcome to Marriage Builders...
It is slow in this forum. Dr Harley has some great info regarding people marring with different religious affiliations and how to talk about them before marriage to see it it really would be a good match.

It would be a great question to even ask Dr. Harley himself for free. If you click the Marriage builders Radio tab- there is an email you can write him and ask.

Meanwhile - keep reading up on how to pick the right spouse and get ahold of the book Buyers, Renters and Freeloaders that will cover a lot of things for you to think about.

"I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
I will persist until I succeed." Og Mandino
