Need some advice about dates

IAnd yes, if you do learn about NFP, you will learn your body signs… and pretty much any woman on this board can tell you that you are at the most ahem amorous when your are ovulating. So keep that in mind.

That was great! Yes, we are trying, I actually ordered that book by Christopher West, I should go pick it up!

I just wondered how you are doing. You have been in my thoughts and prayers.

There is one huge benefit in waiting. When you do get married and use NFP, and there is a time when you need to delay having a child, the time of abstinence will be easier. What’s a few days compared to months. Also, see your attraction to your fiance as a plus. You are drawn into union with him. That’s the start of a wonderful marriage.

Also, stop thinking about how long it is until August. It will only drive you crazy.

Hmmmm. If you both have cars, maybe meet each other places so you don’t have to drive together. And if you do drive together (and can’t fimd a “chaperone” to go with), have the passenger sit in the back seat. And just to be safe, pile cardboard boxes in there with you, so there’s only room for one in the back .
I like the bible in the front seat idea. Or maybe a picture of Jesus looking at you could go in the car.

Since you both live with family, maybe restricting yourselves to visits at home would help.

God Bless you for both trying! What a great start you are already having!

ok, here is some new stuff. I really need some help. I am having serious trouble resisting temptation. My fiance is, in a word, gorgeous! and he has an amazing personality. I am obviously attracted to him, but we have tried prayer, (he goes to daily mass and bi-weekly confession) I go to confession as well and daily prayer and I want things to go well, but I am so tired! It takes so much work to keep myself from thinking or doing things that I know I shouldn’t! I need help and prayers!

And I bet he smells really great, too. I can SOOO relate to your struggles! I’ll keep praying for you, b/c the hard work is really worth it, and if you can try to really, really work on avoiding the near occasions of sin, you’ll be in much more peace, I think.

I think the person who suggested just not seeing each other as much, has a good idea… And really cutting your time together to like an hour or two. Write letters (real ones… they’re more work than email!) so you can communicate with him in a way that’s easier to keep pure.

And say it with me… “August isn’t that far away…August isn’t that far away…”
