Dear Lady. Ann:
Good day Lady. Ann, I thank God for the ways my prayer life has changed since I started watching your videos. I have been wanting to seek advice concerning being in a relationship with my cousin. This is a topic most people don’t like to talk about, even pastors, they just tell you it’s an abomination but I know that you have the body of knowledge that I need. I and my cousin have been seeing each other for close to six years now. We were engaged privately but our family did not give us their consent to get married though it is legal here in Nigeria but they say it’s an abomination. I read the Bible and don’t see where such was mentioned in close relation both in the old and new testament.
Because of the family pressure, he called off the engagement and got engaged to another woman because they think it’s a way of putting an end to what we have but he came back to me begging that I am the one he wants to spend his life with. He’s no longer with this woman but has not officially called off the engagement with her because of how our family will take it. We are now back together, I have prayed about it and there’s an inner peace I feel about him and have no doubt. I really care about my family but I also can’t sacrifice my future with my cousin because I know it’s not wrong before God even if people frown at it. Please I need advice on what to do. Thank you
