Heterosexuality Discussion ForumI need to know why!!!!Okay this is really me going out on a limb... but I need some answers and I feel like this is very anonymous. My fiancee and I have been together for nearly two and a half years. We are twenty, and are both students in college. When we started dating we wanted to remain abstinate until marriage. We did remain abstinate until three months ago. We tried very hard but unfortunately, we gave into the tempatation and made love. We have tried to stop and will be sucessful for two to three weeks, but then temptation takes us over again. The thing is, is that I do not feel truly convicted. We both really want to be married more than anything, I want to live with him as his wife and be with him forever. But, in our situation it is not feesible to be married soon. We do not have the money to sustain a household on our own, and school is something we do not want to sacrifice because we know it will bless us in the long run. I love him so much and he is truly my best friend in this world (we were best friends before we even started dating). I know I will be with him, so there is no risk of getting hurt, and we do use protection so unwanted pregnancy is not an issue. I've tried to find encouragement to why this is wrong but I have not been able to find resources. We both love God and strive to have a good relationship with Him. We participate in ministry and are continually blessed with a good church family. The only reason I feel guilty is because people expect us to wait. Sorry this is so long but I really need to know about this. I can find so many sites about waiting when you're a teen but it doesn't say anything about when you're engaged to be married really. |
