Dear Pastor,

I am in love with a man twice my age and I worry about what my dad would say about the relationship because he knows this person. Do you think that he would be comfortable with him? What do you think? I really want to know.

Keep up the good work and God bless you.

Worried,

Dear Worried,

I suggest that you take your father in your confidence and tell him that this man loves you and you love him and you would like to know how he feels about it. You should talk to him before he finds out on his own.

On the other hand, if you are nervous about it and your boyfriend knows your father very well, he can break the news to him. He can tell him in his own way that he likes you and he would know whether or not your father would give his blessings.

In any case, do not wait too long to let him know what is going on between this man and you.

Pastor
