I would sit down and talk to the girl openly and honestly. How deep is your commitment to one another? If you stand up to her family, could you and she do it with grace and strength? Can you go through everything that would be involved with staying together...marriage, raising children, etc? Marriage and staying married happily is about much more than attraction. There's nothing wrong with "falling in love" but one needs to be practical and look at the consequences and what will be involved with the relationship as well. Talk honestly together, considering everything and try to decide what you need to do. Bless you. GTKK
