(as opposed to the cultural context in Europe or America) That being said, I would suggest you sit down with your fianc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you must avoid to be with your finance in private places till you get the job. Then you will have no problem to get married.

If you can't control yourselves get married.If you won't marry then do not put yourselves in any situation where you can sin.(don't be alone together) and btw..the devil does not make us sin,the pursuit of desires does. Jas 1:14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Thanks for the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what Joseph did - RUN! "Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart."
