That i want to wait to sleep with my bf until we`re married?

Ok so I`ve just resintly rediscoverd my religon but before that I had been living with my boyfriend for 3 years and we have a 1 year old together. I was told that because we had a child together and because we have been living like we were married in Gods eyes we were married. Then in church last week the sermin was about this subject and how strongly God felt about fornication. So I talked to the paster and he says I need to get out of the situation. I told my boyfriend that we couldn`t do anything sexual of any type and eventualy move in seperate places but still be together. What do you think?

    I can't believe you would be so stupid. If I was your patner I would leave you

    Any pastor who would tell you to break up a happy family and throw a child's life into chaos isn't preaching the word of god.
    However, you've been with your bf long enough to have a kid... So why not get married?

    A little to late for that now don't you think?realistically you gave a child together, why would you split up or even disrupt your childs life that much? I'm sure god would rather see two patents together in the same home w their baby and a loving family then have them split up just cuz they aren't married... Yet. You should think about your childs well being first. Not many kids have their parents in the same home anymore.

    It's fine. Just be prepared to overlook the fact he's gonna be fucking someone else till you guys start back up.

    I say as long as he believes in something you shouldn't have too much of a problem. I know several people who had 1 Jewish parent and 1 Christian parent. All of them grew up to be good people with working moral compases.
    What's odd to me is how you seem to pick and choose when/how you follow the Christian belief system. (no sex out of wed lock yet you have a baby with the guy and NOW you want him to move out?) if you're looking for an out to this relationship don't use religion cause it will just turn your kid against religion (just saying).

      I also never said I would make him move out I was going to be the one to move . This is my thing I`m doing I wouldn`t make him have to find a place to live because of what I`m doing unless he wanted to. But I believe if he loves me the way I love him and he really wants to spend the rest of his life with me he could wait for me, we would still spend time together maybe even everyday just not when we go to bed and believe me that will be harder on me than on him.

  • Yeah it's a little too late for that one. And stop listening to those stupid religion morals they have about fornication. You are your own person if "god" doesn't like it too bad.

    I personally think that is a bad idea to stop all sex and move into separate places after being together so long and having a child. You will probably lose him if you go through with it.

      I agree that moving out would create some bad mojo for the relationship. Usually, people only do that when they want to break up. So, OP, if you leave, your partner will probably be hurt and confused. Whose feelings are more important, your pastor's, or the man you've loved for three years and had a child with? If the two of you already feel a commitment to each other, then you do not need a piece of paper to validate that commitment.

    Christianity, and religion altogether is an incredibly difficult lifestyle to live, and every decision you make within it should be a choice YOU have come to understand. Not what others are telling you to understand.

    If you believe that God does not want you to have sex before marriage (despite already having a child), then that is your choice. But you have to realize how confusing that is going to be to him, especially if he is not religious.

    The only thing I honestly know to say, is to make sure that this step is right for YOU and YOUR faith. So many churches want to pressure others to conform into what they believe is right...when it's usually not. Or at least not to every individual.

    Once you have that, make it clear to your boyfriend what you want, how you want to do it, and understand that he may be hurt by this new transformation. Give him time to adjust, and think over the idea. And talk about it together.

    Good luck

    I never said that I was forcing him to do anything I simply said that God does not want me to be with someone who is not christian and that I hope God puts it on my heart to try to bring him to Jesus, you can`t force someone into religon you can simply present the facts. Yes who knows when he`ll propose maybe never that`s why I will not wait for him forever I will just go where God wants me to and when he wants me to, he can only predict the future. If that means I will be alone for the rest of my life or find a good christian man who shares the same values. I can only hope that Gods plan for us is to stay together. As for my daughter she deserves to be in a house hold were she can see what a healthy happy relationship looks like and you can not get that with to people who would be going to different ways. That`s what is happening when one wants to walk in the spirit and the other only wants to furfill the fleshly disires. 1 of the reasons I desided to do this is because it will be the best thing for my daughter.

    And what religion are you? PS forcing people to 'find God' doesn't work. They need to find him in their own way and time.
    Also you child is one now... how long will it take for your bf to find god and prepose? 1 month? 1 year?

    I was also told that I shouldn`t marry someone who is not christian and I already understand why. So even if he does propose today I could not say yes. I`m just trying right now to strenghten my relationship with God and then if God puts it on my heart to try to bring him to Jesus than that`s what I`ll do and I hope that`s what will happen. Then maybe we can talk about marriage again.

    It will not get him to propose sooner. You can't force someone into something they do not want to do. And if you can or do is that the way you really want it? Because you forced them into it? I don't think so.

      That`s not why I`m doing this. I`m doing this because I believe this is the step God wants me to take right now. I just hope that`s what comes out of this because the other alternitive is we brake up and I don`t want that. I understand that it is kinda unfair to him that I`ve changed the way I think and feel about things but even if I didn`t I still would not be with a man forever who would not want to marry me.

    Before you go moving out think about the impact it could have on your kid. Beside could you live happily/well with out him?

      My daughter is only a year old I don`t think she`ll know the differnce, she would still get to see us both just as much as she does know. Yes in would be very hard for me to live seperate from him even now while I`m thinking about this it hurts but I have to get right with God before I think about what I want.

    I`m not trying to end the relationship I love him very much. If you read the whole thing you would see that I`ve rediscoverd my religon when we were doing ungodly things I was not following the bible and now I`m trying to find a way to follow what God wants me to do and still find a why for our relationship to work out in the long run like marriage.

    Us being together for so long is part of my issuses and he doesn`t want to get married right now (I think he has camitment issuse). Now the pastor says unless he becomes as believer I should not be with him because of what the bible says but if he does become a believer we should get married. Part of our problems are is that he does not know what to believe and I`m all in for christianity what kind of house hold is that to raise a child, I would be telling her one thing and he would be telling her another that`s why it`s best to marry in your religon.
