    we tried to wait for marriage; blew it last night

    That's sweet of you to say. Also, don't undermine the power of prayer. Pray for God to change your heart and desires so that you can overcome your sinful flesh. I've recently learned not to approach anything before saturating it in prayer. Hope this helps. God bless.

    Pain Inflicted: Virgin dating Non-Virgin

    We ended up going to the a Campus Crusades for Christ conference together at the end of December and celebrated the new year by worshiping the Lord and praying with over 2500 other people. It was awesome! We both believe it to be God's will to continue the relationship and use our testimony to...

    "sinning against your future spouse"

    You sin against God, but also realize your sin can have lasting consequences even when forgiven that can hurt your future spouse even if you didn't commit against them. It's because the world isn't perfect, they aren't perfect, and Satan can deceive them (future spouses) into thinking improperly...

    we tried to wait for marriage; blew it last night

    You need to set stronger boundaries to where it cannot lead to sex. You either need to stop at kissing, tongue, groping, etc. A man and woman I know stopped kissing 6 months before their wedding because they couldn't keep from having sex. Another friend won't lay down anywhere with his...

    Pain Inflicted: Virgin dating Non-Virgin

    I know. It was rape. And it saddens me. I'd be lying if I'd say I still don't struggle with the past connections she has. God has removed the pride, arrogance, bitterness, anger, etc. from my life. I still have negative thoughts, I was actually being controlled by them, God opened my eyes so...

    Breaking Up and Following God

    Tell him God is number 1 in your life and you can't be with a non-Christian, that's not a compromise you're willing to make. Let him know you love him, but be short. Don't drag it out. As for the crawling back part, that is you. You need to have self-control. You need to pray that God gives...

    Pain Inflicted: Virgin dating Non-Virgin

    It's been a while since we ended things and we weren't talking, but I still loved her more each day and didn't understand why my feelings weren't subsiding or staying stagnant. Every relationship I have been in has been an easy walk for me, I've endured no suffering in my time with Christ...

    Pain Inflicted: Virgin dating Non-Virgin

    There's so much I have to share with the community that has supported me. God has done amazing things in my life - I am in awe of him and his greatness. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! (I have an accounting final at 930 AM, but I'll be sure to share afterwards!) Hallelujah! :-D

    Pain Inflicted: Virgin dating Non-Virgin

    I've been praying about it, and I've struggled with her past still at times when I dwell on it. I've been shown I'm not emotionally mature or spiritually mature enough to handle a relationship based around God right now. I want to give myself to God for a year or two before I consider...

    Pain Inflicted: Virgin dating Non-Virgin

    I've realized I have to let her go completely and I'm so saddened by it. I've just relapsed so much in my spiritual and emotional maturity over the past year, like a 180, and I need to give up on the idea of us and focus on the relationship of God and me. I'm so sad.

    Pain Inflicted: Virgin dating Non-Virgin

    I'm currently taking your advice. We both needed to get our relationship with God straight before we got into a relationship with one another. And he's shown me so much, how much of a sinner I was, and how judgmental I was of her because of her past and her recent fall on spring break. I've...

    My girl's (and my) terrible past - need advice

    I've been going through something very similar. The girl I've been dating has had sex with 3 guys, but she is as pure as God's hand in my opinion. She's amazing and an angel. I put her through so much, made her cry so many times, because I held this over her head. And I took her for my sexual...

    Pain Inflicted: Virgin dating Non-Virgin

    We've moved a long way since this has posted, I've prayed about it and she's been so supportive. It's something that I personally needed to work on with God, not with her. I needed him to show me how to love the right way and how to continue to forgive. It's between God and me, and she...

    Pain Inflicted: Virgin dating Non-Virgin

    She doesn't cheat, she's always been the one cheated on. And we agreed to never drink to get drunk and stop after our limit. It's just painful and she's a wonderful person and I love her, it's just hard to get passed that one guy taking advantage of her.

    Pain Inflicted: Virgin dating Non-Virgin

    I'm a guy in college, age 21, and recently started dating a girl about 7 months ago. I had been with a hs girlfriend for 3 years and we both were waiting til marriage. I broke up with her, because I felt she wasn't the one for me in the end. However, we fooled around, and just because we didn't...
