I spent one week in the country, but he did not take me back to his mother's house. My friend told me that she knows that her boyfriend's mother doesn't like her and she is doing everything to break them up.

Pastor, I love this man and when I see him I don't see his skin colour. I see him as a loving, caring and helpful man. He is in a good job and he has promised to marry me and to help me to further my education. We are planning to get married in January in Jamaica.

His father divorced his mother and she cannot get over him. The father has not remarried, neither has his mother. But his father has a lady friend. When I met the father and his friend, they were very warm and friendly and promised that if we get married in Jamaica they will attend.

Pastor, do you believe that I should marry this man? Do you believe that his mother will antagonise me? Please reply to my letter.

M.E., St Andrew

Dear M.E.,

If this man and you are in love and you believe that he is genuine and both of you can work together and have a good future, then accept his proposal and marry him. Ignore his mother totally. She is colour prejudiced and that is something she has to deal with.

Whenever you meet her, whether it is at a family reunion or at home, be respectful to her. And try your best not to speak ill of her to anyone.

Pastor
