• I have been dating a guy from the church now for three and a half years. My family has known about it, and our fathers of confession are guiding the both of us. Recently, my mother has found out information about his family of which she disapproves. His mother was previously married. I was told she was divorced and remarried under the Coptic Church. However, my mother has heard that this is not true and many other negative things about her. My mother says that marrying into a family like this will cause many problems in our future marital life. She wants me to end my relationship with him because of everything she heard about his family. If his mother's sins are true and the problems in his family an important factor in deciding whether this person is right to marry? How does one address these factors with him?
