• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I had committed myself to purity and was going to save sex till marriage.
I met this girl that I absolutely like and want to spend my life with her but I have only been with her for a couple of months.
I truly feel that she is perfect for me and I feel so bad, I know I failed God and myself and her.

I dunno what to do or think. I need some advice and guidance. I feel truly sorry and want to turn my life around. I talked to my girlfriend about it and she is willing to help.

I have fallen from where I used to be when I was so close to God.

As John said, it is not the end of the road. People do make mistakes, especially in this area - it can be very tempting - but the important thing is to put things in place so it is less likely to happen again. God will forgive you, but you need to forgive yourself as well :) It is great that your girlfriend wants to help as well.

If you can, try to put things in place so you are not in a position to be tempted. For example, not being completely alone, keeping doors open etc. It really helps to remove the temptation when you know someone could walk in at any moment :S

We all mess up at times and fall but God forgives and will help you to move on and become strong again.

Blessings,
Katie

Hey Bro, DW and I were a bit inapproriate with one another while dating, and I did apologize to her after we were married. We got over it and we have a superb marriage. She is dear to me and we do help some say if they can do it so can we.

Just confess it to God, ask Him for His strength to deal with the temptation and remember He forgives and He dos understand you. Oh yeah and He loves you both.
