Can’t wait to get married

Dear Pastor,

I enjoy reading your column every day. I am 27 years old and recently I got engaged. I am hoping to get married in July. I am very fortunate to have a job and my fiance is also working.

We are buying a house. My parents have given me part of the money. My parents had a long talk with us. They are Christians. My fiance is trying to be a Christian.

We pray together and we make decisions together. He considers me a little stubborn, but often he allows me to have my way. For example, in the bedroom, he allowed me to change the colour. He likes white and I like dark pink. He said that pink suits a young child, and the bedroom should be very enticing and appealing. But he has allowed me to have my way.

His mother has helped me to have the correct decor for every room. My mother just wants to see me married. At our house, we have never had sex in our master bedroom. We are waiting for that special occasion. I don't want to pretend to be holy and righteous; we have misbehaved but that was done in a hotel in Ocho Rios. He insisted that he did not want to marry a woman he knew nothing about. He applied a little force and to please him, I did not object.

My mother suggested that we should have two big mirrors in our bedroom so we could have much fun as a young couple. When she said that to us, my fiance walked away; he knew what she was saying. He is not innocent about these things. She warned me not to eat food in the bedroom unless I am ill. It is a lot of fun dealing with my mother-in-law. It is like we are sisters.

We can't wait for the date of our wedding to arrive. Every piece of furniture in the bedroom is new. My fiance chose the drapes. Everything right now is so romantic.

Dear S.N.,

I really don't know what you want me to say. You are fortunate to have a good man. His parents love you and evidently you love them. I hope that your fiance and you will not be disappointed in each other. Both of you should be careful in not spending unnecessary money. I wish both of you well and I hope to hear from you again.

Pastor
