Revision history [back]

WJKK WJKF I don’t think there is anything wrong with loving someone before you get married. I’m glad you have discussed marriage and told your parents. Emotional intimacy is fine. Always remember too much of one thing in excess isn’t good including sexual thoughts and attachment- remember your connection to God. Something to think about though is having a friendship with her before you get married because you don’t want your relationship to be just based on physical attraction. (As you have mentioned respecting her means not having sex before you get married. “She said we can try to remain friends before marriage but it is difficult”- difficult because she doesn’t want to wait to have a physical relationship before marriage or difficult because she doesn’t want to wait to have an emotional connection? If the temptation to have a physical relationship with her is too much try spending time in a group setting with your family or other friends around. Anyways, your question was about emotional closeness but I thought I’d put that in there. ) Bhul chuk maaf karna WJKK WJKF
