As a young Christian its tough being in a non christian relationship. Especially challenging is being in a relationship with an agnostic. (Or any relationship really!)

More couples are staying together longer, not being engaged or married, or some have prolonged engagements never marrying at all.
Many young people are marrying really early and lasting for only a short time.
There are so many pressures and difficulties in the current culture.

Therefore my questions (and partially a cry for advice) are:
Is it OK for a young christian couple to get together so young and at an early stage?
What circumstances are suitable for them to be together?
(IE living arrangements, public behavior, mature activities)

I'm afraid I may not be explaining myself very well.

By all means ask me to clarify.

Oh for the love of....
Do what you have to do.
Do what you must.
But
Do not compromise the things that make you YOU.
You might find better advice from the female crowd in this place.
Why do you ask for this kind of guidance here?
(If you do not mind me asking.)
It seems kind of .. "Out of Place".

The people here are mostly kids.
Way younger than you.

What Gives???

Good Luck To All.
Peace.

Eva-Janova :  Before I get to your question,

@orionfoxgibson - Going a bit OT here, but I'm sure she's entitled to ask anything she wants, don't you think?  As a matter of fact, I think it's an important question.  As Yoda would say: "Encourage, you shall" (you did it in the voice, didn't you ) Not everyone here's sub 20.  
I do agree with one of your comments: "Do not compromise the things that make you YOU.".  Some good advice there.

We have sort of discussed this subject in this thread.  So by the way play4fun - you never commented on your own thread

You have made it clear that you are a Christian.  Bottom line - If Jesus is the Lord of your life, you will want to honor him in everything you say or do.  That of course includes relationships, public (and general) behaviour, basically everything in your life should glorify Him.
So as a couple, if you want to live together under the same roof, do the God honoring thing - get married.  Close friends of mine, including my in-laws, got married when they were 21/22.  They started dating at 16.  I suppose it's one of those things - They just knew they were meant to be together.  Most importantly, they shared the same (Christian) values (see thread link above).
As a side note:  I assume your partner is also a Christian, since you've stated "a young christian couple"?  It is vital that the husband take spiritual leadership in a Christian household.  It's the way God has instructed it according to His Word.  So it will be good to keep that in mind.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing and that is, as a Christian, to put Jesus first in your relationship / life.  Do not compromise that.  

If you were looking for more detail than this.  Ask away

orionfoxgibson : I ask because fresh minds can be surprising. And because deep down I am still young.
It does not mean I am compromising on being me.
It means I am sharing my experience with others.
But I'm glad to see such a response.

Wow.
It seems I have to announce that I am a joker before posting regularly.
I figured that it would go without saying in such a place like this.
(Live and Learn.)

I wish the two kids the best of luck.

Good Luck To Us All.
I'm done. Stick a fork in me.
Peace.
