Kaypii is on a distinguished road
Vacation with boyfriend of 2 years.

Hello all...I wanted to get some advice. My boyfriend and would like to plan a trip to Florida this summer. We'd be staying at his aunts house and where we'd be supervised majority of the trip unless we visit the theme parks.

We'd both be sleeping on separate sides of the house. He is 21, and I am 20. His father is a pastor and is very conservative and I'm just wondering should there be any reason for his father not to approve of us going on this trip together? and is Is it sinful?

In case the sex topic comes into play. FYI I'm a virgin, he was not when we met, but we've been together for two years and we've made a firm decision to wait until marriage to have sex. And we've been completely successful thus far.

Why would a holiday change what you have kept to already for two years?

^ that and his aunt will be there so you aren't completely staying alone (or at least that is what I understand from the op). Doesn't sound like a big deal.

If you're primarily worried about whether your boyfriend's dad will disapprove, just ask him. Tell him that you're planning to go to Florida together to stay with his aunt, but you don't want to do anything that he'll disapprove of or that will undermine his ministry, so you wanted his input before you make any firm plans. I'm sure he'll appreciate you showing that level of respect for his opinions.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with the two of you going to visit a relative together and not sharing a room, but I'm an MK so I know that when your parents are in ministry there's a certain amount of pressure not to act in a way that *looks* wrong (and therefore could harm their ministry) even if you're not actually *doing* anything wrong.
