hey all im new to christian forums and i need your advice. i have been in a loving, committed, monogomasly intimate relationship with my girlfriend for seven years. we have an 11 month old daughter together and have been living together for almost two years now. we have always since we fell in love when we were 16, wanted to get married but the finanial support was just not there. she had announced her christianity when she was 14, but obviously hadnt been living a very christian life. she has started going to church again in the past 6 months and loves it. she has been learning that she is living a life of sin, she even asked me not to have sex again untill we got married. i really didnt want to do that! but i agreed nonetheless. so we started talking about marriage again, and she said she wanted a marriage not a wedding. so the finacial situation wouldnt matter. we were planning on getting married 6 months later. now she comes home from church and says she cant marry me because i am a non believer. so now with my family hanging on the balance of me finding The Lord, i have really started to look into christianity and after about two months of searching. i bought my own bible to read and i have really taken a shine to christianity and Jesus's teachings, although i have not publicly announced my love for Jesus, i still feel God's presence in my life and Jesus's influence on my decisions, but yet im not sure if i am christian. what makes a person a Christian? she seems to not accept the fact that i may be christian, and its like shes finding excuses to not be with me. I feel God brought us together and blessed us with a child for a reason and i want to be with her for the rest of my life. she also tells me i am the best man she has ever met and she loves me, and wants to be with me. but now she hasnt been able to show passion towards me or even give me affection other than a hug or a quick kiss. what are your thoughts on my situation? i am feeling so lost right now and have no one to turn to for advice. (my family doesnt understand or believe in religion) sorry for making my first post so terribly long, i just have a lot on my plate right now!
thanks in advance for ANY advice, even if its not what you think i want to here.
God Bless
