My boyfriend and I are Christians. We are both baptized believers who are seeking to recommit our relationship with God. We feel as though we haven't always put God first, in regards to making decisions in our relationship. How can we become stronger Christians as well as a stronger couple?

very good question... first off, God Bless You both..
I heard a very good saying, "Put God in the Center and everything else will come together".
Do you got to church together?
Do you pray together?
Do you ask God to strenghten your relationship through HIM?
Try getting involved in church groups together, like ministering to children, going on church trips together.
Maybe ask your church if you/your boyfriend could form a group and meet at the church once a week. Make sure it is your age group... Have other couples come and devise a plan for all of you to go out once a week visiting nursing homes together, working at the Soup Kitchen, etc......
I believe you will have an abundance of blessings from God and your relationship will be rock solid.. Remember, whatever you do, even something as simple as going to the store, always, before you leave your house, ask God to guide you and keep you safe... God is called upon in every aspect of my life.....
I will pray about your situation and may God truly bless you both....

Study and read God's Word. Get involved in a good study group together. Engage in activities (through the church) for singles.
I think it's wonderful that you two are heading towards God together. I cannot speak enough on a Christian marrying a non-believer and how hard it makes the relationship. You two are headed in the right direction.

1. Pray. Ask God for strength and wisdom and faith and for his blessing on your relationship/
2. Read the bible and learn more about God, both on your own and together.
3. Worship and praise God. Go to church together, join a bible-study together, volunteer at a soup-kitchen etcetera.

God is the creator of the greatest institution in the world:marriage,if you are living in sin ,stop.If you are not began to live and breath to serve and bless each other in spite of what actions you see coming from one another person. You can not help but get wisdom from this.

A muscle that is excersized grows stonger, so too in excersizing your life of faith. This is done by living it, and not compromising.
If you will draw close to Christ, He certainly will draw close to you, and of course He will strengthen your relationship. Are you hoping marriage? Maintain your purity until such time as that happens.
Remember, a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.(depends on the version you have, but the truth is the same)

Pray together, read the Bible together, spend more time apart if that is what makes you think to be destroying your relationship with God. Spend time with friends, family...
I recommend you read "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" and "Boy Meets Girl" by Joshua Harris.

Pray together. Sing together. Study the Bible together. Find some other Christian couples(married & singles) to spend time with.

- Having been in your situation, I know it's tough.
- What helped me was to continually study the Bible, to not put myself in situations that would tempt me.
- My heart was convicted because I called myself a Christian, but I was not following the instructions of Christ.
- God spoke to my heart and refered me to His Word
JOHN 14:15
15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments.
