Hey Skittles. I agree with you. I believe love is a good and beautiful thing. I lived with my former boyfriend for 6 years. We loved each other and were faithful to each other. I never wanted to get married. I never felt that it was wrong and I never felt guilty about it.
Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and I try to live my life without judging others... so I have always had a problem with people judging me or others. That's just who I am and I don't apologize for it. My personal choice is that I won't get married until I'm ready to have children. I respect everyone else's right to their own opinions and beliefs. I would never try to push my beliefs on another person and I'm intolerant of other people trying to push their's on me. That's just the way I am.
Chacun à son goût!
All the best to you and your boyfriend. I'm glad you have found someone you love and who loves you back. That is a wonderful thing for which you don't deserve criticism, IMO.
I would hope that this Spiritual Sanctuary Forum is a place for everyone in the PC community to express their own forms of spirituality -- free from judgment or recrimination. I choose to express my beliefs and opinions as just that -- beliefs and opinions -- not facts.
