Relationship Issues
Q. I’m a Christian woman in a relationship with a Christian man. We go to the same church. We had recently moved in together and things are not working out well. I have an ex boyfriend who I give spiritual advice to. My current boyfriend told me that I shouldn’t be counseling my ex boyfriend, only him. Since we’ve been arguing lately I notice how he yells at me around my children. I don’t think they should be around this type of behavior. I recently told him we can no longer live together, that we need to get our relationship together before we go any further. Of course he feels its all my fault that all my attention should be spent on him. What should I do?
A. There are several things about your situation that have put you outside of God’s benevolence and made you fair game for the enemy’s mischief. First of all you’re apparently living together, but don’t consider yourselves to be married. Then you’re involved in some kind of a relationship with a former boyfriend. These are indications of a lack of commitment.
You’re doing the right thing by moving back into separate quarters. Now you need to confess and be forgiven for jumping the gun on your relationship. And unless you’re a professional counselor working in an official capacity with your ex, then help him find someone else for his counseling needs.
By doing these things you may find that your current relationship will improve, or you may find that you’re both still too self oriented to be in a relationship together. Either way you’ll come out ahead and can re-build your most important relationship, the one with the Lord. When you get things right with Him, everything else will come along too. (Matt. 6:33)
