Her grandma may become a hindrance

Dear Obaa Yaa,

I am 20 and she is 19. We have been lovers for the past four months and have promised to get married to each other.

We love each other badly that one cannot leave the other for long. Our relatives know about our affair except her grandmother who will be in the country soon.

My problem is that, I doubt if the grandmother will be excited about this relationship. Her grandmother is very strict and I doubt if this relationship can be successful.

Her grandmother has been like a mother and everything to her, so her final decision may count.

We have promised each other to stay holy and clean.

Lartey,

Sunyani

Dear Lartey,

I don’t think your fears are justified if the girl’s parent do not object to your relationship with her.

What makes you think her grandmother will oppose the relationship if her parents endorse it?

Be positive about the relationship. There is no cause for alarm.

I am very happy you guys are staying holy and clean until marriage.

Both of you are student and need to be careful about any decision you take.

I believe you should try as much as possible to support each other and stay away from any negative act.
