Advice

There was this story that my pastor once told at a youth meeting.
It goes like this:
There was this girl, she was engaged to this man that her parents didn't like.
She was so wrapped up in her relationship, that she wouldn't listen to anyone.
Not even her parents, who told her that they didn't like him.
Now, she was a believer and her father wasn't. So that made her not listen to him even more.
So, she gets married to this man even though her parents and her friends didn't like him.
The man ended up either beating her or leaving her for another woman. When she prayed about it, God said to her You may be a believer, but your emotions were too attched, but your parents even said not to marry him, and they are the athourity figures in your life, and my word says to honour your mother and father.

Even though EVERYONE warned her about him, she still did what she wanted to do.

What I'm trying to get across here is,
Even if you don't want to hear the adivce because you think every one else doesn't understand, or you just don't want to hear it,
Your family and friends are trying to protect you. They don't want to hurt you, just help in every possible way.
