My boyfriend and I have known each other since we were children in the same elementary school. Years have passed and we've been great friends. Now things have turned into a relationship.
Now, I have been dating him for four months, even though it feels like it should be years, since I've known him for that long.
My parents have told me that he asked them on advice of marrying me. I'm a little shocked. I haven't thought about marriage really in my whole life. I've been focused on college and jobs and friends. I have prayed very hard about this for the past couple of weeks. I feel like God is telling me this may be the right thing for me.
I do love him and could see us getting married and having a long life together. My parents keep telling me not to rush things. I figure if he wants to propose, he could, but I would wait a while before I got married, about a year, to see how we stick that out.
This is not my first engagement, and my first one was for the wrong reasons. I know that, and I don't plan on making the same mistake, nor do I want to be hurt again.
My boyfriend is a Christian, and shows love, respect, and is openly honest with me. What's more, he challenges me in my faith, and helps me stay strong with God by reminding me that He is in control.
I just need prayers and advice on my next step. I think I know what God is telling me, but I just want to be certain.
