If you were 24 and engaged, would you ask your parents for relationship advice?

... especially if it meant you had to share the problems in your relationship with them?If you were 24 and engaged, would you ask your parents for relationship advice?
It would be ok to ask relationship advice, but I wouldn't bring all the problems to them. If you are having big problems, you and he should go see a counselor and work them out together if it is a big enough issue to be a deal breaker. Good luck.If you were 24 and engaged, would you ask your parents for relationship advice?
Definitely, yes. You can always ask them for advice, don't worry: It's just advice, it doesn't neccessarily mean that it is what you are going to do. They're your parents, they probably know a thing or two better than you and your fiance. They have to know the important things, especially the problems with your relationships. Remember that family comes first. How can you raise a nice family if you have ';issues'; with your OWN family???
Yes, no one knows you better or loves you more. And no doubt they have made it through some difficult times themselves.





The only exception is if they will judge your partner unfairly and hold it against them throughout your marriage. They need to love and accept your partner almost as much as you to be good grandparents and an asset to your family.





A good marriage takes a lot of work. Your parents are an invaluable resource for you. They have your very best interests at heart all the time. All the time.
The problems you have with your fiance should not be laundered with your parents. You need to talk them out with him, ask a trusted friend for advice, but do not break down the united front you have with your fiance. If you do, then you are setting a bad example for the rest of your life and marriage.
No. For advice, I'd seek trusted friends or even couple's counseling. My parents don't need to know the details of any problems.
