First of all: .me and my girlfriend have been dating for over 11 months. We love each other very much and have always prayed for God's will in our relationship with each other. We both feel as though we are destined for marriage and that is what God wants for us.
At times, we have been tempted physically with each other and messed up (no sex of any form though). About the last month or so, we have been fighting a lot more...little stuff, no arguments over important stuff. Also, the last couple weeks we had been constantly crossing our boundaries with each other. So, I began to pray fervently about whether she was my future wife was God's will. I just didn't understand why we were fighting so much lately. So, I asked God to somehow show me if she wasn't the 'one' no matter what the answer was. On Wednesday, we messed up again and I broke up with her. Basically, I thought that us messing up that day was God's sign to me that she wasn't the one. About two hours later (crying the whole time), after talking with my parents, praying and reading some stuff...I realized I had made a HUGE mistake. I called her and we decided to stay together. I realized the fights were coming from us being unpure and was the devil's way to help break us up and cause strife between us. ALSO, it was exam week and I hadn't been very sensitive to that fact. (She gets pretty stessed out about school...because she is taking 17 hours)
SO...the lesson learned is trust what God has shown you through the bible and other people before you make a decision thinking you have just recieved a sign.
The break up caused a lot of hurt. Her mother is mad at me and thinks that I was playing with her heart. But, through all of that our love for each other remained and we have both realized how important it is to remain pure to keep a healthy relationship.
Now...how to make amends with the mother....???????
