Ok, so here is the deal. I wasn't going to share this with you but I really had to know. What exactly is marriage? Does it really matter if it's official in the state or official in the heart? I had to know because most of you if not all of you already know that I have been engaged to my high school sweetheart who is currently behind bars for a crime he didn't commit. Anyway, I'm sort of ashamed to admit this but neither of us waited for sex since we had it for the first time after we graduated. On one hand, I've been kicking myself for sinning and praying to God that He'll forgive me, but on the other hand, we already know how much we love each other and that we want to spend the rest of our lives together. Not to mention that we both are mentally handicapped and when it's time for us to leave home, we won't be able to afford a wedding right away and I'm not even sure where we'll be able to live my fiancee being a convicted felon then. We both desperately want to obey the Lord, but we're also madly in love and we want to act upon our feelings. So that brings up the question, what exactly is marriage anyway? We both have been very faithful to each other and at some point we are going to settle down together and get married and have a family. But do you really have to say "I do" to know that we're already a hundred percent committed to each other or to have rings on our fingers. I guess the most important question is, what is God's definition of marriage? Please don't hate on me for this.
Edit, please move this thread to marriage sorry my mistake.
