Dear Pastor,
I am 21 years old and am in love with a man who is 31 years old. We have been dating from I was 16 and he cheated on me with other girls. I forgave him because I love him and I don't feel he is cheating on me now. He said he is a changed man and I believe him. He takes good care of me and we are planning to get married as soon as he can afford it.
I just want your fatherly advice so I can be more confident about it.
S., St. Catherine, Jamaica
Dear S,
Anybody who is planning to get married should seek premarital counseling. You seem to believe that this man has stopped running around. Nevertheless, you need to discuss these things openly in his presence with the marriage officer during these sessions.
Pastor
