In this honest and practical discussion, Pastor Mike from Focal Point Ministries answers a listener’s question about whether a Christian couple should break up after falling into sexual temptation before marriage. Pastor Mike explains that romantic attraction is normal—and expected—in a godly relationship, but couples must set clear boundaries and seek accountability. Instead of throwing away a good relationship over a failure, he encourages couples to repent, reset their boundaries, and create safe, structured environments where they won’t stumble again. If deeper issues exist, they may need further counsel, but temptation alone doesn’t mean the relationship should end.
