Hey
I know there are lots of sex-before-marriage posts on this site, but I just would really love some help and advice about my specific circumstance.
When I met my boyfriend I had back slidden and was, by all accounts, a non-believer. I was very open to having sex, and subsequently we've moved in together. Of course, he doesn't believe in God - is a very passionate atheist, actually.
Now I'm right with God again (praise Him!) and I know i need to clean up some areas of my life. I do want to be sexually pure. i tried to tell my bf that I want to stop having sex, to save it for our marriage, but he went mad and said he was only ok with the Christianity if it didn't impact his life (he says it's ok to go to Church, but I have to pack my bible away, and I'm not really allowed to talk about God).
How do I explain to him what's on my heart?? Do I just take a stand for God and say the sex is just not going to happen?? I am not even convinced - I mean totally convinced - that sex before marriage in a committed relationship is wrong!! Do I need to leave him?! I don't want to do that.
In a past relationship I lost the guy because I was 'nuts' about my faith...
