Parental Advisory

Just now when I was working, my colleague was saying that parents should have no say in choosing of their children's choice of spouse. Her reason being, after all the one who is going to live with the person is the child him/herself. What do you think?

My own opinion, my parents must approve my choice. Besides showing my piety, if my parents disapprove my choice, that means my choice sucks like hell. After all, my parents have much less criteria than me.

So, what is your view?

I agree with you. But I wanna add on one point. I think religion places just as much importance.

hmm.
it'll depend on the basis of their disapproval. certainly you don't want things like "Oh, I'm sorry but we've chosen one for you."

sorry lah, lu tau kan kita lagi sibuk jaman2 ini.. Winning Eleven or King of Fighter and gw lagi bikin blog jg, progress: 4300 kata, masih lanjut kok, [please look forward to my GG-ed post :) ], jadi kurang update ama blog loe hahahahz..

Personally I do feel that we need parental consent especially for something this major in life. Parents are the ones who have experienced things more than us, and of course their approval doesn't only contain their personal preference but also advice(itu yg loe maksud bukan?).

Well of course for marriage, the spouse would be someone that we had already loved so much and someone that we had wanted to spend our whole life with. Having that person disapproved might cause a mental breakdown considering how much we have loved this person, and simply breaking up because of "my parents do not approve" sounds so hard to accept. Moreover, having to break up and searching for a new lover is not a piece of cake.

Yeah, But if they were to disapprove, I would want rational reasons. Without those rationales, I'd urge or at least try my best to persuade/convince my parents that she's the one I'd spend my rest of my life with.
Yet, I won't betray my parents' final say regarding this although that might leave me a scar for quite some time.

Wew.. Jadi pusing jg yah.. tenang, hidup masih panjang
Klo takdir ntar jg pasti datang satu yg cocok buat semuanya hahaha
