I'm 15 and my boyfriend is 14. My mom calls me a cougar. We've been together 9 beautiful, meager months, but honestly, he's the best thing that's happened to me. He's helped me in my Christian walk and he's there for me... somewhat. Not physically. He's not allowed to date because of his mother. I know our actions are not God honoring, but I love him too much to let him go. We haven't kissed, we hug sometimes and hold hands occasionally. But other than that our relationship is a big secret and I don't know how much longer it can stay that way. We've almost broken up twice because we feel like God wants that, but neither of us know how to tell. I want to love God more than my boyfriend, but honestly, I don't even know how to start. I feel like God's turned His back on me and walked away.

    First off . God has not turned his back on you and never will unless you turn yours on him. Young love is so common and natural . I say continue on and as far as dating well don't socially date but you can spend time together and talk and enjoy each others company and I think god would not have a problem with that. Just always b respectful and pray for the lords guidance:)

      Deuteronomy states that" The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." He will never leave you or forsake you. He will never turn his back on you. He loves every single person. God is not human. He can not sin. Which means he will NEVER hurt anyone.

    What kind of a selfish god wouldnt want you to have happiness? If that boy brings you happiness then keep being happy. Stand up for yourself. Dont be so weak and fight for your right to be happy. There are things in life worth fighting for. Happiness is one of them.

    If you want to love God more than boyfriend, then the answer is simple. You are going to break up with him because you wont give him a chance. Maybe it feels like God has turned his back because you are finally acknowledging the "ungodly" feelings you have. Those are human emotions, God forgives us our physical attractions and urges because it's how we make more minions for him.

    P.S. here's a secret - sex before marriage is not an evil act. Being irresponsible with your body is foolish and invites evil, whereas an expression of love and unity strenthens a bond that makes us human. Besides, this world needs more love and less hate anyway.

    heres what i think... okay im 19 and im a protestant christian. anyways, i dont think God would try to breask you two apart. God only creates and encourages love, he doesnt destroy it. not that i think you and your boyfriend should be saying i love you, but hey ive said when i was your age, so if you do dont feel bad. i think you two are doing remarkably well to have refrained from kissing and other physical acts of affection. personally i was raised in an environment where my parents didnt care if i kissed and held hands, but they encouraged me to think about the fact that it really wasnt dating. sure i was only kissing that girl, but its not like i was taking her out a courting her at diners and driving her home. also my mom said she would kill me if i became a dad before a high school graduate(not literally kill me). only your bf can decide when to tell his mother that he has decided to start dating, but i think you should help him to explain to his mom that just because you two are socially seeing each other doesnt mean its physical. as far as honoring God, i guess if your big on abstinance then i could see that by having sex before marriage, but i kissed my fair share of girls when i was in high school, and God has yet to smite me. Anyways, dont worry about it so much, i think i can confidently say that God will not be angry with you for holding hands and hugging. After all, He would much rather you be a loving person than be one of hate and bitterness. hope this helps you.

    God will never ever turn His back on you. Remember you are only young, so don't take it too far. God wants you to be happy, and if this relationship is in His plan for you, you will be able to carry it on. Try and be honest with your parents, as God wants you to honour them,and hopefully they will understand. Explain to them that you love each other but will keep it respectful and not be too intimate. Also, remember age isn't a boundary, if you love him anyway , good for you! Good luck.

    God has not turned his back on you, you are one of his children and he loves all of his children just the same. He is just letting you make your own decision. God gave us the power of free will. what we choose to do with that gift is up to us. God hopes to protect us from harm but he also trusts us to make the right decision.
