She was 20 years old and in love with someone that she'd spent 19 days with, at most. Yes, they'd been Skyping and e-mailing for a year or more, but enough to know if they wanted to marry each other? They were sure.
She asked to speak with us, her parents. It was February. "We're thinking about getting married this summer." She was very respectful. We outlined four reasons why we didn't think it was a good idea.
Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. (Ephesians 6:1)
She was longer a child. That changed overnight legally, when she turned 18. Her position was the same in our hearts, though. She was our little girl whom we loved and adored. Was it right for us to say, "You MAY NOT get married this summer"?

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise), So that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth... [Ephesians 6:1.2]
