I greet you in the Love of Jesus,
I am a 22 years old girl who is craving for the will of God upon every area of my life. I became a Christian two years ago. Before four years, I started a relationship with a believer. At first, he did not tell me he was a believer. Then, when I discovered, I was angry and wanted to break up with him. However, since we were in a very passionate, romantic relationship, we could not depart. He was not that strong to let me know Jesus. Shortly, he was not a strong Christian. But after reading the bible, I was able to discover the truth. By then, we have started to live together. It was not an official marriage. Since my parents are in another town, they don't know about it. After becoming a Christian, I started to doubt if it was the will of God to let us live together. I feel sinful to be with a man without an official marriage. In the relationship also, I have faced some challenges. His elder brother and his younger sister live with us. That threatens our privacy and intimacy. People comment that I am very young for the relationship. He does not give me much attention. He is emotionally not responsive. He is not caring. He sometimes shuts me down and I don't know why. Most of all, we don't pray and go to church together. He says he is busy but plans to do that in the future. Besides, he complains when I ask for a discussion on a certain topic. These issues made me unhappy and unsatisfied in my marriage. Then, I started to doubt that a relationship that grew out of lust can be a Christian marriage. I know that I can lead an independent life if we breakup. What is worrying me is how I could know the will of God. And if it is the will of God for us to be together, what steps should we take to make it an official Christian marriage?
Sorry for my lengthy email.
God Bless,
