• 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 have only been a christian since February of this year. I have been living with my boyfrind since March of 2003. We have plans to get married but right now problems with his back and extreme stress have caused all discussion to come to a halt. Until recently I was pretty ok with things the way they are but i am really being convicted now. I just want to get married and make my life right with God but my boyfriend doesn't want to hear about it right now. Has anyone been in my situation? Can I ask for your prayers please. :groupray: I am really having a hard time right now.

Nevada :angel:

the best advice i can give is that you pray about whether or not this is the guy God wants you to marry. if he's not, you have to pray for the strength to get over him and the wisdom to fix the situation. if he is the guy, you have to ask God how you can step out of the way so He can change the guy. God bless. praying 4 u.

It has never been God's ways to stay with your boyfriend even though you guys plan to get married. What happened in the past before you came to the Lord is one issue but now, you've come to know the Lord, you should sit down to talk it through with your boyfriend.

Even though many claim that they will not do anything but the temptation will always be there. Talk to your boyfriend about the situation and move in after you guys are married. Planning to get married isn't equivalent to married. Another thing, like what kingjewelz had mentioned, is this the man God wants you to marry?

Pray and seek God's Will and ask for the wisdom from God to guide you through this time.

God be with you.
