I’m inactive, and my boyfriend has been a member for 9 months. He’s active. He goes every Sunday, has callings, etc. But we don’t keep the law of chastity. What’s ahead for us?

Chastity: What are the limits?
Thanks for posting your question. If you really want to help your boyfriend, help him maintain a rich spiritual life. Breaking the law of chastity is harming both of your spiritually. Tell your boyfriend you want to stop doing that. Encourage him to chat with his Bishop. Return to church yourself so you can better support him spiritually and, more importantly, get some spiritual support yourself.

When you really love someone, you choose to do things that are best for them, rather than what's easiest or what feels good for yourself. I hope you show your true love for your boyfriend by helping him on his spiritual journey. Perhaps the missionaries can help the both of you too.
