Hello,
We are a Christian couple who would like some advice from other Christian parents with a particular issue we currently have.
Our children are not yet saved although we pray for this daily. We obviously love our children very much and do our best to raise them within our Christian values. They are all teenagers now so it can be challenging.
We are going for a family holiday and invited our son's girlfriend. She is also non-Christian. Our son is happy with this but he has asked if they can share a room whilst we are away. On one hand this is a mature sensible approach for him to take and we are very proud of him for feeling able to broach the subject with us. However, our initial reaction is to say no as it's against our Christian values. The problem we have is that we want to set a good example to our kids but we're not sure if this is a good or bad example by saying no. We have explained our point of view but as he is fairly closed to Christian ways we are worried this will further turn him away.
We'd be grateful to hear other Christian viewpoints on this. Thank you.
