Long Distance Relationship Decision Point

[JesterHorn]

Long story short.....

We've been dating over 3 years and want to get married. She lives in Austin, I live in Houston. I have a few irons in the fire here (job, school, friends, family, church, etc.) and she has no irons in the fire in Austin (outside of job, she's only been there 8 months) and has a few here (family, church, friends, ME!).

She is resisting moving back to Houston because she can't find a job she likes (personal trainer). She is seriously considering signing an 18 month lease in the next few weeks. We need to decide to get serious and lock this down forever - get married - or just end it and deal with that heartbreak instead of dragging it out.

My prayer requests would be:
1. That each of us keep our relationship with Christ primary.
2. That each of us would remain faithful in prayer.
3. That God would provide a job for her in Houston - ASAP!

We all hope and pray for the best for the both of you...compromise/work it out/PRAY...being together for the right reasons is worth any sacrifice whether it be job-school-church-family etc...
Gods church is everywhere...and all else will follow..

Thanks for the kinds words and prayers. Things are progressing towards a resolution. She did NOT sign the long lease and has moved into a house with some friends. She did offer them a 6 month commitment, but it's sort of a month-to-month deal in reality.

I guess now we're hoping she finds a job in Houston. Either way, it's something that keeps me on my knees and humble before the Almighty. He lets me know daily that I aint in charge!
