Justus,
Me and my girl have been together for about a year (IF that). I'm a newborn christian so excuse me if I sound silly. I'm trying to practice abstinence. She has been practicing for over 3yrs. This is my first 1 and 1/2. Every time we get close I have the urge to do more but together we have been able to hold out. When God talks about it's better to marry than to burn does he mean we should go ahead and get hitched so that we don't be tempted? Because we both are serving Christ, is that what we should do? I'm old school tradition, so when I think about marriage I think about me kneeling on one knee to propose and having a 6 month engagement before marriage. BUT if we are burning then that sounds like eloping. What do you say? thanks

Chris,
You will be surprise how much will power the human mind have when exercised. That's where the term "mind over matter" comes from. If your mind say it doesn't matter, the body will follow. Traditional is cool but who came up with this 6 months rule? If you are going to save yourself from sinning, then that should overruled any man made rule. I know she will appreciate your proposal but don't just get married for sex because that's your life partner. Sounds like you are willing to make sacrifices for one another and that's a great plus. Actually, that's what surviving together is all about. God bless and I hope you are successful in your journey because being a Christian isn't easy. It will be a constant struggle but iron sharpen iron and you both seem strong.
