How to talk to your parents about choosing a spouse
Practical wording and an approach that keeps the conversation respectful on both sides.
It is easiest to start the conversation with the general rather than the decision: say what matters to you in marriage before moving on to a particular person.
A respectful tone works better than pressure, even when you disagree. Give your parents time to ask the questions that matter to them.
If the conversation reaches a dead end, it can help to involve a third party — an older relative or a specialist both sides trust.
