Hello, I am new here and really need some advice. My girlfriend of about 15 months broke up with me. She went on a weekend retreat and when she came back we broke up. A little background; We are both 20 years old in college. We met freshman year and were dating ever since. She recommitted her life to Jesus around 8 or 9 months ago. As for me, when she took me to church it was the first time I've ever been in my life. I really enjoyed it and I have wanting to commit my life to Jesus, but I haven't yet. I am a little scared because this is all new to me. Anyway, when she came back from the retreat she told me that she couldn't be with me anymore because she needs to give 100% of her heart to Jesus, and she can't do that if she is with me. We talked for hours and we both said how much we love each other. I've never loved a person as much as I love her. She is the woman I want to marry, and she says the same also. She says that she needs to be alone for this season of her life. That seasons come and go and that in this one she has to be alone. I just don't know what to do. We love each other so much. After we parted ways she texted me saying that she will always love me and this is just a season, that if it is Jesus's will, we will be together again. I need some advice. I love this girl more than I can imagine and we are just a perfect fit together. Is it possible to fully commit to Jesus while in a relationship? I am brand new to these things so I do not really know. She says that if it is God's will then we will end up together. What should I do? Should I let her be or should I try and get her to go talk to a Christian relationship counselor. It is my understanding that you can put God first in a relationship and give everything to him while still being together. Thanks for the help, sorry if this doesn't make much sense.
