Thank you so much for your online counselling . It's a long story but I'll summarize it
I received a phone call from a family friend some months back(I reside abroad). He later proposed marriage and I told him to give me some time to pray over it but I noticed that anytime I pray over the marriage, I get confused or disturbed. I had to ask my pastor and some pray partners to pray for me and they told me that I'm going to be very bitter and sorrowful in the union. Even after declining his proposal, he has kept calling and sending texts .The issue almost resulted in a battle between my siblings, parents and I, what baffles me is that my parents isn't bothered about the man's relationship with God,all they want is for me to get married before I become too old. I'm 27 years and I know I need to settle down but I don't want to make mistakes in my marriage neither do I want to marry someone who is not God's will for me. I'll be visiting home this Xmas for my Parent's anniversary and I don't know what will become of me If I don't come back with a suitor. Please pray for me!.
