Recommitted!

[Marionette]

(I'm not exactly sure how this ties in with pregnancy but since I'm pregnant and this is where I've been mostly, guess I'll toss it here.)

Just thought I'd share since I'm all happy like now, today I told my boyfriend that I'm going back to waiting until marraige for sex. It spawned quite a bumpy conversation but in the end I feel SOOO much better. So I'll be going back to wearing my promise ring~ Poor lil thing has been sitting on my bathroom countertop all lonely for two and a half months or so.

Do you suppose it's uncommon for an unmarried pregnant Christian to recommit this way? I'm not backing down on my decision but my guy was pretty disturbed.

No, it's not uncommon. It takes more times than not for someone to hit rock bottom so to speak to see the gravity of their choices and the error of their ways.

Congrats on once again wearing your promise ring. You are not only saying to your boyfriend but to yourself and God that you are important and special enough to wait until marriage for.

I don't think it's unusual to make that decision. I think it's a brave and wise choice.

God bless you!

It's probaby uncommon, but it's also brave! It's like when God forgives us of our sins, he wipes the slate clean and we start over. Of course you can't be unpregnant, but you can be pure again. Congrats to you! Do ya'll have any plans to marry?

Thanks guys
We talked about marraige but I told him I wanted to marry a Christian. I don't want to cut him out of the baby's life but I really don't think it would work out in the end. It scares me to death to think that he would take the tadpole to Buddhist temples or teach it that animals are more/just as important than people. His view on God is that anyone, as long as they're searching for a god, doesn't matter what one, will find one. Something like all religions lead to the same god. Eh.. yeah. Sad thing is, he was a Christian until he was 17 or so.

I think you have made a very wise decision! However, if you do not plan to marry him unless or until he becomes a Christian, then why continue to be commited to him?

 

[Linnis]

I guess she's hoping he'll change and like it or lump it for the next 19 years she's going to have a relationship with him because of the child.

You want to marry him, but he's not Christian. You want to marry a Christian. I think you have quite a bit of prayer to do regarding that decision but again congrats on a very big step.

Congratulations on your decision. I know it can't be easy without the support of your boyfriend, and it sounds like you have some hard decisions to make regarding that relationship. But no matter what happens with him I hope you continue to grow in your relationship with Christ! Praying for you.
