 Celibacy is not easy
About six months ago I took a vow of celibacy and asked my boyfriend to move out. We had been living together for almost 5 years. I came to know Christ about a year or so after we had been living together. I knew it was wrong to live together and act as a married couple if we were not. It took a lot of strength and faith to ask him to leave and to cut off a physical relationship after so long. We are still together but in a different way now. I know it was the right thing to do but I am scared of loosing him also. I know we cannot be married for at least 3 to 5 years because of some situations in our lives we need to clear up. I need God to give me strength; the celibate life is not as easy as I imagined to be honest with you. I dont want to disappoint God but at the same time I am looking for loopholes which I know is wrong. I keep trying to figure out a way to make it ok. I have not broken my vow but I am nervous that I may. I hope this is not inappropriate; I really need some feed back on this. It is a hard topic to discuss.  |
