  1. I have been to this point (being expected to propose) the last two Christmas/New Year's and both times was unable bring myself to do it. I was/am at the point of tears trying to understand why I couldn't. I prayed constantly for guidance and help to understand what was holding me back. The issues of her beliefs and the infidelity that happened in the past (a few years ago and a few years before that) are the two big things that stuck with me. Though I forgave her for what she did, it hurt me very badly and I don't think i was ever the same after that. Time has made those things hurt much less but I don't think I will ever be able to completely forget. She has changed a lot since then and I don't believe she would cheat on me again. I often wonder if the Lord had a hand in me not being able to go through with it. Thank you all for your insight. I am going to continue to pray on this and try to find some time to speak with my pastor on the topic as soon as I can. Even if the right answer is to let her go and move on, it is hard to just throw away so many years of a relationship without prayerful consideration.
  2. I am in an on and off long-term relationship with a girl who is really hoping I propose to her soon. We we're together for a few year then broke up and got back together again a few years later. There were two instances of infidelity on her part (I am sure I share in at least some of the blame for my lack of attention to her) in the past but she has reluctantly expressed her remorse for those events and has assured me that something like that will never happen again. She was saved many years ago in a Bible-believing church her mom and her attended but both long since stopped attending church. She now holds a "can't believe that there is only one way to heaven" and "how could a loving God condem all those in other religions" view on God and Christianity. I am not really sure what to make of all of this. Corinthians 6:14 says: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? But since she was saved earlier in life, would she be considered counted among the unbelievers? John 10:27-29 says: 27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I could really use some advice here. I have prayed long and hard over this topic and feel lacking in the wisdom I need to deal with this kind of decision.
