I've been dating this guy for 2 years. We have been engaged for 5 months now. So yesterday I went to see a pastor about getting some pre marital counseling, as I would like to have a God based life and home.
He told us that we weren't in need of any counseling because we sounded like we had no serious problems in our relationship. He said we should wait a year to get married, finish school, and read our bibles everyday. He also said we should join a church which I agreed with and planned to do before I ever saw him.
Then he asked us our age and when we told him, he told us to break up because we were too young to be thinking about marriage. I was extremely upset by this but was still open to listening to him.
He said we should break up for 3 months but never gave any specific reason for it except that we were too young to even be dating. He is the second pastor who's said that.
My fiancee was so offended by what he said that he doesn't want to go see this guy again. I don't want to either but what if this was a sign from God? I mean, my fiancee and I have our occasional arguments but nothing serious. We are really happy with each other, we love each other so much.
What I wanna know is what should I do? Is this God telling me to take a break or is it Satan's way of using Gods people to break something good up?
I don't want to defy God but I'm not going to leave my fiancee for the simple fact that we are young. Please help me out people, christians you know more than non-christians but I am open to anyones opinion.
