How to convince parents for love marriage ?

How easy it is to fall in love with someone but why is it so difficult to convince parents for love marriage? When you love someone, you love them with heart without any barrier of age, gender, caste, race, religion. So why is there a need to look into these matters when you want to marry the love of your life? 

Questions like these revolve in mind of all youngsters who are in love but belong to a family where such things matter more than the happiness of their child. 

Why is it so difficult to convince parents for love marriage? 

Whether it’s an developing country or a developed country, parents never develop. They remain the same for ages. We all say we believe in love marriage but when it comes to our kids, I assure you, you would also want them to have arranged marriage. 

But why? What could be the possible reasons? 

1.They still consider you as kid

Whether you’re in your fifties or Twenties, you would always remain a kid to your parents. For them you don’t grow mentally, they think you are not that capable of taking your decision as you were in childhood. 

2.You don’t know what’s best for you

As your guardian, they always pamper you and bring the best for you. For them you are still that little kid for whom the best could only be provided by them. 

3.You don’t care about your religion and caste

For you, love is between two pure souls. For you religion and caste are just mere words. But for your parents, caste and religion is their pride and they don’t want you to marry outside this barrier. 

4.They think our love is temporary and this marriage won’t last 

Like your old toys, they think your love for your partner will also end after marriage. For them love is temporary among teenagers and think we mistook lust as love. 

5.Its against their society

For years this has been a big issue. We all hear it millions of times throughout our lives. They think about society and relatives but not about their child. For them their pride is above all. 

6.They found someone better for you

To provide good to you, is what they think is their responsibility. They think only they can find someone good for you. You are not that capable of finding a right partner in your own life. 

7.It is their dream to get your married at the best place

Parents have a dream to have a good and grand marriage for their child. Every parent dreams of the best partner for their child. And it’s completely ok. But what is not ok is, in this they forget their kid can have different opinions on this. For them, only they know what is good for us and this is the big issue of tiff between folks and their kids. 

8.You don’t think of long term :

Parents have this thing to say ‘you are not mature to make decisions’. You don’t think long term in this.

Telling your parents about your love is a bit complicated. They can easily misread your love as  your earlier flings. You need to be more expressive about your feelings for your partner. Say and convince them to meet them for lunch. 

Two possibilities :
