His parents tried to dissuade him from taking her for a wife - but he would hear none of it:
Judges 14:3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77819289 His parents had no idea this was all part of God's bigger plsn - to weaken the philistines: Judges 14:4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. We see the first example of Samson's God given mighty strength on display: Judges 14:5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him. 6 And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done. After meeting with the woman he decided he still wanted to marry her, and preparations were begun: Judges 14:7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well. 8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. 9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion. 10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do. Several things stand out in the last few verses. Why is it that Samson didn't tell his parents he killed a lion and them fed them honey from it's carcass? Did he withhold from them his unnatural strength for a reason?
