Fiancé wants to get me pregnant before our wedding day

Dear Pastor,

I am 23 years old. I am getting married in August and I am having a problem. My boyfriend is 30 years old and I love him very much. He is the only child for his parents. His father owns three apartments and is giving us one as a wedding gift. We are excited about getting married and the thought of not paying rent is very exciting.

Everything is going well for us except one thing. My boyfriend wants to get me pregnant before August. He is not saying that we are not going to get married if I don't get pregnant. His father got his mother pregnant just before they got married and he wants to follow in his father's footsteps. He says that every time he talks to his father about our wedding, his father asks him if 'nothing yet'. He even teases him and tells him that he is 'shooting blanks'.

We are living together. I try to please my boyfriend in every way. There is no position that we have not tried already. My doctor told me that nothing is wrong with me. I told her what my boyfriend wants to happen and she said that I should just ignore what he says and have a good time; pregnancy will happen. My doctor told me that it took six months after she was married for her to get pregnant. Pastor, I am wondering if you will be willing to meet with us for counselling.

Dear H.,

I am glad that your boyfriend and yourself are getting married. And I can tell you that this wonderful present of an apartment is significant. Property is the foundation of wealth. So your husband and you should be very thankful for this wedding present.

Concerning your husband's desire to get you pregnant, don't allow his desire to affect your wedding plans. You will get pregnant in God's own time. Just plan your wedding carefully and look towards that wonderful day. I will be happy to meet with your fiance and yourself. You may call the office at 876-929-1667 or 876-877-1009 and make an appointment to see me.

Pastor
