One of my closest friends growing up was Mormon. I attended his church service once to get an understanding and the missionaries told me much of what the video covered because I asked so many questions and because I pretended to be very very interested in joining. False pretenses, I realize now...

Want to find it in the Bible? Look up marriage. In marriage, you two will become one person. One person. What is the most personal thing that is completely yours and no one else's? YOUR NAME. Wives should be submissive to their husbands, that's biblical too. We are called to lay everything...

You just know. When I met my boyfriend for the first time, I just knew in my heart everything was complete. God confirms it continually in prayer. Here's a quote many Christian girls live by. "Place your heart in the heart of God so that your future husband must go there to find it." Draw...

Are you in one? -- Yes Have you ever been in one? Currently in one How far away did you live? 281 miles (so about 4 hours when I'm at school and 5 when I'm at home for the summer) How long did you date? 4 months and counting Do Long Distance Relationships work? "Nothing is impossible for God."...

I was seeking to see the Church's defination of cohabitation...which apparently is an unmarried sexually-active couple sharing a house. As well as the opinion of others in general. I have recieved both. And YES, contrary to popular belief and whatever y'all are bickering about, I am going to...

Alright, let's try this again... My mind is not made up, as nothing is for certain at this point. I am pleased that I have arrived at the decision that this option could in fact work and be beneficial. (The purpose of this thread was to discover that, and I did with the options of others who...

I meant exactly what I said in my last post. I believe that this option could in fact work and be beneficial to all involved. It should be a fun adventure to find out. Does that help make it clear?

My mind is not made up because a lot of things can change in a year. I was just seeing if this option would be workable. Asking my parents is out of the question, they don't care where I go as long as I'm out. Perhaps the Lord will provide in a way that makes something else plausible.

Benedicta...you sound like the father I wish I had. Maybe I didn't make my situation clear in my first post... I will no longer have a place to stay next summer. Even if I get two jobs, I will not be able to afford my own apartment. Unless I find two strangers who I think I can trust to live...

well I think I'm going to try it and find out. I feel I know them pretty well and I think our situation would work out.

Thank you everyone for your opinions on the matter. I am pleased with the decision I have arrived at. It should be a fun adventure!

We aren't dating. But even if we were, it would be seperate accomodations, almost like the dorms at most colleges. Which leads to another question...if I went to another school and stayed in a coed dorm...would I be breaking the rules if I dated a guy from down the hall?

First some history... my parents and I get along great, until we have to live in the same house. Our views are very different (my dad is a staunch Presbyterian and my mom is a lapse Catholic). I am looking into finding my own place next summer so I can work on keeping my sanity and the growth...

That's so off-the-wall. Apparently, he needs help...and a treadmill.

My good friend is Mormon and in high school, I attended a church service of his in order to understand what he believes better in hopes helping him convert. Someone said that the conversation posted about spirit babies that missionaries don't talk like that. I'm proof that they do. Because I...

I wouldn't even think of it for more than three seconds. While I still struggle with my faith, God placed me in the midst of a secular, immoral, disgusting society because He called me to be a witness to the truth. If we isolate ourselves from this world, who will be their witness? Who will show...

There are things children miss when raised only by women or only by men. It has been shown to harm them in ways that sometimes cannot be righted. Studies have not shown this to be the case with single parents though. Quite interesting to note. However, I applaud the judge for standing in his...

Pittsburgh suburb here! :)

I think there are many people in this world that you can have a positive, healthy, loving relationship with. But I firmly believe with all that I am that my Father has the name of a man written on my heart. He reveals more and more about this man to me through every relationship I go through...

I wear a veil at Mass though I really don't have much of a reason. It was something God personally revealed to me as something He wishes me to do. So therefore I do it. I loved IfIonlyhadabrain's post. Thank you for offering insight. It was beautiful.
