Hi ladies,
Firstly I want to say praise God! I think Him for all he has done, and all he is about to do in my life!
In January of this year I started to have a real hunger for the word. I read my study bible everyday on the train and I'm lovin' it! I feel like I'm preparing for my Baptism, which I know is coming soon. I've been with my man since October 2006, and things are going very well.
My man is not baptised, so I'm concerned about how this will pan out. I don't believe that marrying JUST to avoid sin is right. You should marry someone because you're ready, and because you truly want to spend your life with them. But on the other hand, sex is regular part of our relationship and this has to end when I become a Christian because I want to go into Christianity full throttle because I feel there is a calling on my life. I know when I'm ready for baptism he will understand that we can no longer have sex - but I feel this is easier said than done. How long will the abstaince last before sexual frustration appears?
I truly believe having God in our relationships is a definite must! I would love for the both of us to get baptised together, that way we can live in Christ together, and encourage one another. But I don't want to rush him, because I know that getting baptised is a serious event that should be genuine. I also know that man's needs are not more important than pleasing God, but I know he is the one for me to marry so I have to think seriously about this. I don't want to a) rush him into marriage b) backslide or c) "wait" for him either, because the moment my soul desires the water, I'm going to jump in it!
How do you avoid sexual temptation with someone you are intimate with?
