I am engaged to a wonderful lady that I'm planning to marry for sure,we been living together now a little over a year and now she wants to no longer engage in sexual activities with each other cuz she feels it's wrong in the eyes of god.my question is how should I respond to this and what should I do to make right of this situation??

Yes James, I fully agree with what Suze has shared with you. It sounds that your fiancee has been wrestling with this matter for some time in her heart or maybe that prior to your wedding day, she might like to make that day more special by abstaining, for the remaining time, from the physical aspects of your relationship.

I would encourage you to abide with her wishes & look at the matter from her viewpoint: she will appreciate it & respect you more for it, & will also help you to develop your love for her & the need to give her the due respect & care that she deserves. Even though some of these thoughts might seem trivial for now, marriage is for life, & a firm foundation of deep love & trust, with the Lord God at the center to give you both direction, help & blessing, you'll know that vitality & unfading love for each other till life's journey ends. Not knowing your spiritual position, I would also encourage you both to pray together, praising God & committing your lives to Him & the needs or questions you have to deal with. God does hear & your own lives will be greatly strengthened as you declare your united submission to God's Will for your lives. May you have peace in your heart & mind over this matter.

Hi James , obviously I don't know you or your lady so I can only give my opinion based on what you have told us on here . You don't say wether you are a Christian or not and you don't say wether or not you have always been aware of your ladies religious beliefs and how strong they are . I think you need to talk to her about her beliefs . She may have been wrestling with her conscience over this matter for some time . You need to understand how she feels and I would definately not try to coax her into doing anything that she's not happy about . Communication is the key in all good relationships . If your love for her is strong and hers for you is also strong then my advice would be to get married as soon as you can and resume your lives together with God's blessing .
