Heya,

If I had one (and I dont, I dont date period) the answer would be: "duh.." - meaning "Of course I would!"

Well, changing the question slightly since me having a girlfriend wouldn't happen... Anyways, -if- I had a boyfriend, I'd like to say that I most certainly would right away, but unless I was certain that God really wanted me to break up with him I'd probably struggle with it for a long time.

I'm going to have to second that question.

Diddo the first part. I don't really mind when people get forums confused.

Talking THIS IS QUITE A VERY PERSONAL AND YET SENTIMENTAL QUESTION!
Maybe i could share some of biblical events regarding giving up someone you love. The story of Isaac and Abraham is a wonderful example wherein Abraham gave up his only beloved son because of His obedience to God. Inspite of his breaking heart he managed to give Isaac to the Lord as an evidence that he value God's will more than his will. In the end, God gave way because he had proven Abraham's worth. Such a very loving God...by the way, He knows what lies beyond our futuremuch more than we ever know!

So what I can say is that........God has His purpose in everything we just have to trust Him. Maybe sometimes when He asks us to give up something well i guess He never meant to hurt us.He just want our hearts to have that firm focuse on Him.

When we offer everything to God nothing is difficult for us!

I miss you all!

Well actually i've been there, less than a month ago too. We had been only going out for about a couple of months, and we realized that we weren't putting our relationship with God first in our lives, but rather our relationship we had together. We both knew that God was telling us to take some time off whether that be for a month, year, or forever, we don't know. But we knew it was God's will for us to not be together for the time being and just to focus on Him right now. It is definitely not an easy thing to do, but we had no doubt that God was telling us this. It is pretty easy to argue Him and try to make up reasons why you shouldn't break up, but in the end, God's Will will be done.

i would

God knows whats best for you.

Perhaps at the time you think this person is the best in the whole world, and you want to marry them. But God will have someone even better than them for you. And when you meet them, you'll wonder how you ever thought of settling for someone less than them.

I'm single but I have been there before and I have obeyed God. We are told to obey God in everything...so I think that should answer the question. We'll only suffer if we shut him out and hide in disobediance.

We SHOULD obey Him, but to be honest, I would have a heck of a time doing it.

I reckon it really depends on your faith level. Do you trust God to meet the needs that that person meets? Can he do that for you without you having them? If he takes something away do you trust him to give you something better? Are you prepared to wait for the better if there is a very empty patch ahead of you till it comes along?

If I was wobbly I'd need my faith really built up to do it but I suspect, could be wrong here, that the relationship would start to not be so good after the first time God said 'no' to it.

Would all be a lot easier if the other person knew it was right to break up as well. So neither had to cope with the whole rejection thing or the guilt that you'd made the other person miserable.

If you really wanted to follow God he'd get you there though.
