Worried that my boyfriend is an atheist

April 18, 2024

Dear Pastor,

I am a 27-year-old female. My boyfriend is 31 and we are living together. He is a good man.

He is not a good cook, but he cleans and washes my clothes sometimes. He also irons my work uniform. Anything I ask him to do, he does it for me. We split the bills half and half, and he makes sure that he pays his half. The house is never out of food. But my problem is he doesn't have children, and I am not sure that he can get me pregnant. He has only one testicle. I had a miscarriage when I was in a relationship with my ex-fiance. He got another girl pregnant.

My present boyfriend and I went to a doctor, who said all is well with me; he was sent to do a sperm test. My biggest problem is that he doesn't believe in God. No matter what I do or say, he is not changing. He doesn't prevent me from going to church, nor does he try to change me from God. Apart from that, he is a good man to me. I am a Seventh-day Adventist.

Dear A.C.,

I am assuming that the doctor told you that even though a man may have one testicle, he may still impregnate a woman.

So I do not believe that the one testicle that this man has should be a problem or a great concern to have. This man should follow the advice of his medical practitioner. Perhaps, for peace of mind, he should make an appointment to see a urologist, and should ask you to accompany him.

This man says he does not believe in God. I can understand how concerned you are about that. On the other hand, just about a couple of weeks ago, a young man gave his testimony at the First Baptist Church and he said there was a time he did not believe in God at all. But the good Lord turned around his life; now he is serving God and is very happy. I suggest, therefore, that you should continue to pray for this man. Nothing is impossible with God. God can save him and make him a new man through Christ Jesus.

I assure you of my prayers. I will also suggest that you ask the church you attend to pray for your boyfriend. I repeat, nothing is impossible with God.
