Hi~ I am a middle-aged single female. I have been on my own since I was divorced very young. Recently I have been quite unexpectedly blessed with a good, kind Christian man in my life. I believe I was just as unexpected in his own life. I strongly feel God had a plan for us.
We both are taking everything rather slow, but I know our mutual feelings are growing very strong. There has been discussion over any "romantic" to "intimate" involvement. I feel that we both want to know there is genuine and lasting love, and a confessed commitment, maybe a even betrothal, before any intimacy occurs- we have not even shared a first kiss for fear of going too far.
It is becoming a little frustrating, and I guess my thought is that God will bless our union if we know our hearts are pure. I do believe intimacy will help us to grow stronger in our real love. Not yet, but maybe before we might be able to arrange for a formal marriage.
If we are to hold our hearts captive to one another, and ask God to have His hand continued in this beautiful blessing, can we trust that it can be true and right? Our lives are half over and a lot of living on our own has been very lonely for far too long. Life on Earth is short. I am guessing we do not need a license to "love," but rather hearts that are filled with a purity of intent, and God to.bless us as we move forward in Him.
