I ask because I have been with my boyfriend for over 2 years, and im not sure if he is the one for me. He has a tendancy to drink and drive sometimes, and I do my little things too, but im willing to change and turn my life to god. I want to build my relationship with the lord, but my boyfriend is not quite ready for that. I pray about him, and I asked god if he would please take this matter into his own hands. What do I do from this point on? Should I stick around and be patient on the lord and not leave my boyfriends side, or should we have time apart so i can get myself together, while the lord works on him?

I think you already know you should leave him. If he's drinking and driving I also suspect that his drinking is causing trouble in your relationship. You already know this is not a good situation. You should leave.........now you just need to do it!
Good Luck!
Good question.

You should pray for your boyfriend that God will change his heart and he would dedicate his life to the Lord. You can also try to influence your boyfriend by bringing him to church with you, or reading the bible together, and trying to live a life that is pleasing to God so that he will be influenced by your example. You can also pray that God would reveal to you his plan and purpose for your life. That he would make it absolutely clear to you whether or not he wants you to stay with this guy or to move on. You're right everyone in our lives is there for a reason...but sometimes those people are only there for a season (period of time). Talk to God and draw near to him, ask him to reveal to you through the Holy Spirit and guide you to where he wants you to be. God Bless You!

If you believe God put him in your life then treat him as a friend and cherish that friendship. But if he drinks and drives that is a big no no and you need to move on if you are looking for a mate.
You have done the correct thing in taking the matter to prayer and putting it in the Lord's Hands.
But the Lord has given you the ability to think this through as well.
No one has the right to drink and drive. No one. I have been a social drinker all my life, but for the last 30 years (I'M 61) I have refused to drink and drive and it has served me very very well.
You need to look to someone else for dating and courtship.

You have to let God do His thing without you trying to influence Him, so to speak. You said that you don't know if your bf is the one for you, well don't meddle over it and just let it be. If you are becoming more and more spiritual yet your boyfriend doesn't want to take that road with you then I guess after a while, y'all will end up growing apart anyway. God has His plan for all of us so just let Him work it out and you just worrying about being a good person.

That sounds tremendous yet we've had a lengthy way, a lengthy thanks to many human beings in our course. Having walked in San Francico, San Diego and la and met many human beings. I do trust that you'll make an outcome once you tutor a sunday college type, some children have negative trials to undergo in daily existence, in case you could help them, you're doing Christs artwork.

If you think that this is the person for you then you should definitely stick by his side and help him with his problem. If he really loves you and himself he would be willing to stop his drinking and driving. If not then all you can do is pray for him.

It sounds like you want to do God's work. If your b/f doesnt let God help him, i doubt you can.
You need to step back. Think about yourself and your relationship with God. If he's not ready for God, why are you ready to deal with someone like that?
As much as it hurts, you must leave him. It doesnt sound like he's a good support on this very important matter. Work on yourself.... Do what you have to do to be ok with God. Your bf will have to work on his relationship with God on his own. Unfortunatly, we cant drag or push people into heaven. We must work as individuals to earn heaven!!

God answers every prayer,even if sometimes the answer is no.My suggestion is to let go of your boyfriend of only two years before his drunk driving *** sends you on a one way ticket to meet God.You have a long life ahead of you,why waste it on someone who is obviously on a downward spiral?You cannot change your boyfriend,only he can do that for himself.

(2 Corinthians 6:14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Let him go and if he chooses to accept Jesus Christ, he will. You can't make anyone do anything.
