Question 1

I want to marry my girlfriend of 3 years, and know that we are both ready for that next step in our relationship, but when I asked her father for his blessing he said no. His blessing is important to us but I asked him out of respect more than anything but now that’s he’s said no I feel like it’s not really a decision he solely should get to make. Do I proceed with popping the question anyway?

Question 2

My wife and I are expecting our first child in a few months. She’s a vegetarian but I’m not which has never been an issue. But now that we will soon be raising a child that is half of both of us the question has come up whether he or she will be brought up vegetarian or not. Maybe a minor issue for some but a serious one for the two of us. What do we do when we disagree on what’s best for our child?

Hey Mr Grant I`m getting married in March and my fiance is having doubts. He knows I love him but he doesn`t know exactly what he feels. His head says yes but he doesn`t know what his heart feels. What do u suggest he or more importantly we do?

Question 1

Hey Love Doc I’m a sales rep for a building company. Recently we were been told to hand out builders calendars to our clients as a new year’s gift from the company. The calendars we sponsor typically feature nearly nude woman. What are you to do in a situation where, what your boss expects from you, is something that makes you feel a little uneasy?
(Could also discuss employees who work in environments where these posters are up – and what their options are - if any)

Question 2

I’m a dude and currently flat with one other girl, we had another flatmate but she has since moved out and we are on the lookout for another. I’m pretty adamant on wanting our new flatmate to be a guy but she wants a girl, how do you compromise in relationships when both people clearly want 2 completely different things.

Question 3

I'm the only Christian in my family, my dad used to be but walked away when he left home. Before becoming a Christian I had the best relationships with my parents and wouldn't fight with them. But now that I'm a Christian I find myself constantly fighting with them, mainly my dad, because they don't understand my beliefs and how important they are to me because it's a sensitive topic in my house.  Secretly I want to grow to the point where I'll be a youth pastor one day. How do I mend these broken relationships while still maintaining my beliefs?
