Are we on the right track?

[LynzLovedByCHRIST]

My boyfriend and I are both Christians, and have been since we were children. We've continuously gone to church our whole lives (although to different churches). We pray with each other over meals and if something is especially troubling to one or both of us, talk about God and how He is working in our lives, attend each other's churches when possible, and are reserving certain things for marriage because we know that is what God commands of us.

We have never especially talked about having a God-centered relationship, or commiting it to Him...I mean, not used those words. But, anyhow, are we on the right track, at least? I'd like to think we are. Please tell me how your relationship with your SO is God-centered, or how you commited it to Him. Thanks!

Sounds to me like you have things more together than a lot of people, including myself!

Hey, it's always good to ask, right?

I think you're definitely headed in the right direction. Perhaps a good conversation with him about what a G-d centered relationship would look like down the road as you get more committed would be a good idea at some point.

sounds like ur on the right track to me! maybe the two of u could try talking about building ur relationship with God (together) and how to make your relationship more christ centered. also, make it a habit to pray together as much as you can...maybe on the phone before u go to sleep. that's what my boyfriend and i do.

Every now and then pray for the relationship, but try to base your prayer life on outside things. And to top it off, make sure you relatinoship with god isn't based on his.

Agreed. My bf and I also pray every night together, he lives 2 hr away and we only see eachother every 2 weeks. We have grown a lot closer to eachother and our relationship has grown closer to God because of it.
