Just wondering if anyone out there has any experience and good advice on how to keep a relationship before marriage pure. My boyfriend and I seem to really struggle with this. I mean, we have never had sex. but a lot of the things we start to do make us feel guilty. we get caught up a lot and then right in the middle of something one of us says stop. We both feel incredibly guilty afterwards. We both know what we want, and it is to stay away from that crap. However, we just keep repeating the same cycles. we will do great for a period of time, but we always screw up again. Has anyone experienced this but overcome it? We just want to get passed this, I'm not sure why we just can't.
I come over to your house, where you and your boyfriend are sitting on the couch. After we exchange social pleasantries, the following conversation ensues...
ME: "Why don't the two of you lay down on the couch together."
YOU: "Right now?!?"
ME: "Yes - and get comfortable."
YOU: "Well... O.K."
And the two of you lay down on the couch together...
ME: "Nice and cozy?"
YOU: "Yes, we are..."
So, we talk for a while...
At a certain point in time, it becomes somewhat obvious that the two of you are starting to "feel the temptation"...
ME: "The two of you just go ahead and do whatever it is that you feel like doing at this moment..."
YOU: "What?!? With you right there watching us? I don't think so..."
ME: "Good. I am glad you see it that way. Now, remember -- at every moment - when the two of you are together - God is watching you..."
