Relationship Makeover!!!

[Amy47]

Well as of October 11th, 2005 My boyfriend and I had what I would consider a relationship makeover. Well Let's start from square one. We have been dating for nearly 4 years and we started when when we were 15 almost 16. Obviously NOT READY! Well we got pretty physical after about 2 years (fell in christian lives) and had been physical all the way up to 10/11/05. Now when I say physical we never had sex but we came pretty close to it. Well the other day we started to talk about our relationship and both came to the conclusion that we weren't happy with it. We always went home guilty at the end of a day together. So we made a commitment to eachother and god that we would both stay pure and the most we would do is kiss (and not for long periods of time). MAN I'll tell ya I've never felt better, but at the same time I've never felt more temptation. I'm tempted to think of how good th physical part feels, but I catch myself and start to pray.
Well I guess my main point is where do we go from here?

my boyfriend and i are like u. weve been dating 2 years and have gotten pretty physical but never had sex. we've told ourselves we aren't going to do anything anymore but after a while we give in to temptation. its a constant struggle. we've been pure for a month now and i dont think we're gonna do anything anymore because like u we are sick of feeling guilty. plus, it definitely has to stop before we get married. anyway, all i can tell u is u have to constantly keep workin at it and prayin EVERY DAY. it helps me if we read our bible, pray, talk about God every day, especially the days we're together.

Well Thanx alot for the replies! And I can already say that it has been a struggle, I feel like everything has changed, and it has but I have this wierd feeling in my stomach...like I don't really know my boyfriend anymore. I guess you could say I feel alone. I do pray constantly and immediately feel better, but It doesn't take long for the feeling to come back. One of my questions is Does the awkward feeling go away? Cuz I feel awkward evey time we're alone, like I'm not sure what to do or say. One problem that I have is my past relationship was physical, so that's what I was used to, is love only through physical touch. So Please continue to pray for me and PLEASE give me any insite you have...don't be shy.
