AE, BE, CF, and DF are all congruent because they are each half of sides AB and CD, which are congruent because they are opposite sides of a parallelogram.

In triangles EGB and FGD, all three corresponding pairs of angles are congruent.

Then with sides BE and DF congruent, triangles EGB and FGD are congruent, making EG congruent to GF; and that makes G the midpoint of EF.
