The following guidelines for sexual purity in marriage can help you guard your relationship in this vital area.

I grew up without Christ and without the church. When I was in high school I attended a church for the wrong reason—to see a girl I'd met. But God can use even our wrong motives for his right purposes. (In fact, years later that girl became my wife!)     

Sexual intimacy with your marriage partner that doesn’t involve intercourse is not "masturbation". “Masturbation” means sex that involves only yourself.

In a sense a Christian marriage and a Christian church should strive to rekindle the relational elements of Eden, unsuccessful as we may often be.

In this interview with former NFL coach Joe Gibbs, Randy Alcorn answers that question, "What will our memories and relationships be like in Heaven?" See Randy's book Heaven for more information. 

This passage demonstrates what is often true—if we misunderstand one biblical doctrine, we will inevitably misunderstand others. 

Spiritual incompatibility ends up in tragedy and usually divorce.

Randy would encourage you to move out and not to marry your boyfriend until he becomes a committed follower of Christ. You cannot violate the scriptures and expect God to bless the union.

1 Corinthians 5:10 is good in broad principle, saying we have to associate with the world since we’re in it. However, that is general association, not specific partnership.
