Can someone tell Me if I have to just stay with it. I am planning to get married and my fiancé does not want to tell his family about it. The marriage is going to be the courthouse is it not important for them to know?

Amoung other things, marriage is a public acknowledgement of the union of two people. It's hard to see how you could do that and not tell his family. Have you met them? What happens when/if you have children? Is he hiding his relationship with you? Why would he not want to tell his folks??
Yes, it's important for family to know. I think you guys have lots to talk about before you can even consider getting married.

Honey, it is important surely for all family to know there's and yours so why does he not want them to know?

If a guy isn't screaming from the rooftops how happy he is to be with you, then he probably isn't someone you should be with and MOST CERTAINLY should not marry.

I did not inform my father that I was getting married. I did tell my mother just before leaving. I married across racial lines and I didn't want any interference. I was sure of my decision. My parents would not have gone to the marriage ceremony, anyhow, it was more than 8,500 miles away. I have never regretted that decision. My wife and I have been married for twenty years, now. There are no problems with family.
