Dear Pastor,

I am a confused girl right now. I am 18 years old and I am involved with a guy who is 35 years old. He loves me very much. I cheated on him once and he forgave me. He also wishes to get married to me. My family says that I am too young to settle down.

What should I do, pastor?

Dear T.A.,

He "wishes to get married" to you when? You are confused, so I suggest that you don't be in a hurry to get married. Sometimes, men tell women that they will marry, them and they become careless and get pregnant. After they get pregnant, the men don't mention marriage again. Marriage talk sometimes is just a ploy.
