It's been 21,weeks for me lol. But it's easy since I'm not dating anyone. It'll be a challenge once I start dating again....
Struggling with this right now, me and my SO are celibate and abstaining. We've been together a year in a half and it's so hard!! It's hard keeping my thoughts at bay, I just don't know what to do.
Hello @topsyturvy86, I think staying over might be the top of a slippery slope. Like you already said, you've avoided it in order to avoid flirting with temptation. That is the wise thing to do. The Bible says to avoid all appearances of evil - does it look right that one of you is staying over in the other's house? Maybe you would be better off making plans that aren't so late in the evening, or be prepared to take a taxi or such (assuming you don't have your own transportation) home. No matter the cost, it's a small price to pay to honor God in your relationship. See above picture. Think about the price Jesus has already paid so you can live freely in Him. Beware that you don't fall. I hope this helps. God bless you and help you make the wise decision, amen.For those that are/ have been in relationships a while, are there any practical things you do/ did that helped with this?
My boundary up to now has been no staying over so we're helping ourselves as well and not flirting with temptation. It's worked so far but starting not to make sense as we live in different County's (sort of like City's) and it's just more practical especially when we have late evening plans so i'm thinking to relax that boundary a bit to make sense
Did you stay over and still stay celibate in your relationship? Is this possible?
Thanks
