A problem.

Tell her you're a Christian, you have strong Christian beliefs and you don't want to have sex outside of marriage. If she cares about you and your relationship, she will respect that. Likewise, you should respect her decisions (and I'm not saying you don't already) and her beliefs, which probably means not pressuring her to convert or anything. Whatever she thinks about Christianity, she should at least respect you. If you're desperate for her to change her views, then pressuring her about it won't do anything positive, and will probably be negative. You'll have to physically show her that Christianity is not a crutch, which may not get her to convert, but it will at least build up a better mutual view. How you'll do that, I don't know; I'm not Christian, but I can tell you from experience that bringing up the subject all the time only serves to push people away. There's nothing wrong with you trying to bring her to Christianity, but you need to go about it in a way that shows you respect what she thinks too. The type of proselytisation that I've encountered just gives me the impression that these people think they are better than me.

I know that the Bible has verses advising against relationships between different beliefs, but AFAIK that is to avoid potential issues further down the line. If you don't think you'll have those issues, or if you think they won't be a problem, then stick with it and see what happens. Relationships are not required to be long-term or end in marriage, even in the Bible. Go along with it and see how it goes. Plenty of Christian-non Christian relationships have worked, sometimes the non-Christian has even converted. Long term plans are not a good thing to have in relationships, because things never go to plan.

Okay.. I'm sorry..
Your goal, yes, is to hope and pray she becomes a Christian.. But the Bible specifically says you should not marry a non-Christian.. Never says you can't date them, but wouldn't you want to date someone who can share the joy of God with you? I mean, with your case, you can only pray and hope God works his way into her heart, but when it comes down to it, if she doesn't convert, dude.. believe me, follow God over your "heart" Satan plants lies in your heart saying "Oh, she might be a Christian at some point" and as time goes by, you start losing your Christian identity.. Don't marry her, date her, hope and pray she finds God, but if she doesn't.. please.. don't marry her.. For your sake.

My mum married my dad before he was a Christian and without that I wouldn't exist.

Be led by the Spirit as to what it right?

 

[Comatose]

That seems dangerous to me. Follow what God says over what your spirit says. Gods word trumps your personal spirit, granted, it's your choice God won't force you into something you don't wanna do. But for me, I would listen to God over my personal spirit.

 

[solarwave]

I would follow God too, but it depends what you think God is saying. A Christian life is led by following the Holy Spirit not by law.

 

[Comatose]

But would the Holy Spirit lead you on a path that disobeys God?

Don't forget that just because you think it disobeys God, that doesn't actually mean that it does.

Exactly

It depends how you interpret the Bible, and I would like to do that through the Holy Spirit and love. Maybe you are right, but I don't want to make any absolute statements like that apart from love.
