I have been in a relationship for 13 months now. I am in my second year of varsity, and I met my boyfriend last year September. I am in love with him and love him so passionately.
I found God while in our relationship and have managed to grow in my faith with Him as well as it has made my relationship stronger. However, I still have moments of dependency on my boyfriend or moments of doubts, when I know I should be relying on God. Recently I have had a calm whisper in my head saying.
“Let him go…”
I am assuming The Lord is talking about my boyfriend? But I don’t know why?
To be fair I have discovered a lot of myself while in a relationship and haven’t really taken the time to reflect and allow God to take control… so I know what I need to do but I’m scared of the aftereffect. I’m in a happy and healthy relationship, so apart from God telling me to let him go, I am fine… I don’t know.
If you believe that is God talking to you then please do so. Pray about it. God knows best. Although you may think you have a great relationship ( which you may have) God may having something even greater for you. Listen to him and continue to pray.
First thing, it sounds like you have given your life to Christ recently while in this relationship. If so, does your boyfriend know this and respect what that means? Also, is he a believer in Jesus? If you’re not at this time, find a good Bible teaching church and go together. You need to go even if he won’t. Pray and put God first. It may be God is using you to reach your boyfriend. Just don’t let the earthly relationship pull you away from your relationship with your a Heavenly Father.
Blessings. I’m praying for you.

Always respond to God’s voice. He will reward you for obeying. Also, it is how you can know that you a child of God if you obey Him. Read 1 John. Pray and spend time in the Word of God and He will guide you through the decision and all the after effects also.
I think you should stay in the relationship if it’s a healthy one and you are happy and if your boyfriend is respectful, and has other good attributes. The voice in your head could just be your own thoughts. Please use common sense. If you leave your boyfriend, who will you hang out with?, it will be boring, 20 years old is a good age to explore a romantic relationship. If your boyfriend is in any way abusive, then yes leave him. Some couples become Christians together so he could become one too. God bless, – a fellow Christian
I believe God have always better in store for us our thoughts ain’t his and so we are aught to obey him always. (not that you should let go of him but maybe of the unpleasant things u guys do) moral of story pray about it, ask God for guidance he will lead you, remember God above all hope this helps in a way.stay blessed…
If you are a Christian, meaning a follower of Christ, then you hopefully have been reading your Bible. In the Bible you may have run across the scripture, 2 Corinthians 6:14, that says this:
“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?”
So, yes, God is asking you to leave this man. So be obedient to God’s call because He has something better for you. Every day that you don’t heed this call is a day wasted and you are actively sinning. Keep focus on God and remember to run your race well. We have to give up many things in our walk with Christ, relationships and opportunities and the like, but it’s well worth it in the end.
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize. Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is imperishable…” 1 Corinthians 9:23-25
God will give you the grace to do whatever He asks you to do so ask Him for His grace. Grace is His strength.
God bless you.
God is love he will see Christ in you. That is if you are being in communion with Christ and Christ will shine and draw him to himself in you. Not talking about religion or church – we are the church the temple of GOD. We cannot change people or leave them because they have not come in to the knowledge of knowing GOD unless you are allowing GOD to be in bodied in you. Christ did not judge or love less the ones that didn’t want him. God loves him just like any other and GOD does not give up on us. We cannot change people, Christ does.
