Imagine the outcry if refugees were not permitted enjoy the rights of marriage..I would love to see this expressed by the government in shelters.
Your position is indefensible from a marital position. From a holy position. But sadly, from a legal position you may have a point.
It’s probably just people’s idea of a “common” 21 year old. I got married at 20, and my entire family and friends were really excited for and supportive of me. The only people I heard anything bad from were complete strangers, or distant relatives who were not familiar with who I was.
To me, I’m more concerned about the psychological genus of the charge that having a rule for house guests sleeping arrangements equates to being sexually involved with them.
House guests or children?
In general, with maturity, people are not only more aware of the financial obligations that life demands, but have the capacity to deal with hiccups like job loss in a way that doesn’t involve being bailed out by parents as has happened in this case. Sometimes when children choose to marry young, their parents feel more obligated to them then if they were older. That’s just how life works.
We’re talking about her parents. To them, she was 13 approximately three months ago!
)You can’t have it both ways. Either the parents are offering assistance to the couple or they are having house guests who are free to leave. It is almost exactly like the government shelter. A government would claim the same rights as the parents in this situation. Our country our rules, and as long as you need assistance you will not be permitted to sleep wiht your spouse.
Whatever you do, OP, do not use the word “intercourse” when discussing this with your parents. Use a euphemism, like “cuddle” or just stick with the tried-and-true “we were planning on continuing to sleep together, because you know, we’re married” or you could get “la, la, la, I cannot hear you, la, la, la…”
Much as secular forces tries to make the family a democracy, that is not the biblical way. Parents have a right to make household rules and homeowners have a right to make household rules. Our government is not a parent. They are just representatives of the common good.
Why? It isn’t as if they have to sleep in the same bedroom to engage in coitus. The parents never said anything about showering together or excusing themselves to an empty room for alone time. Maybe they have another reason they don’t want them sleeping in the same room.
I find it funny that you say that, because I specifically used the word intercourse to make her parents uncomfortable so they can just get over it and get used to the idea.Whatever you do, OP, do not use the word “intercourse” when discussing this with your parents.

If your parents still cannot believe you are really grown up and really married even though you are 21 years old, they won’t be the first. Be gentle with them–especially your dad!
It would be just a creepy if the father was not “uncomfortable” with this thought of his daughter and another man. But no matter the circumstances here, the parents are infringing on the rights of a married couple. The Church would most certainly side with the young couple here, in fact I would not be surprised if She has spoken about it.
Bolding mine:
Not according to the Church. Parents do not have the right to decide when and where thier adult married children have sex. In fact, that freedom is specifically outlined.
