should i break up with him?
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 9 months. I care about him so much, but I am a Christian and he is a Catholic. I've tried to get him to come to church with me because I want him to be saved SO badly. I know all of it is in the Lords hands and that I need to continually pray for him. Is there anything else I can do to get him to come to church with me? He knows how important God is in my life (we talked about it many times) but I don't think he understands. With him being Catholic and all I don't really think he quite understands that you need to have a personal realtionsip with Christ and I've told him that before as well. He doesn't like talking about religion, but I do. He doesn't tell me very much about his religion and I ask him questions to know more about it, but he always says "I don't want to talk about it now," It hurts when he says that because it's like hes pushing something away or hiding something even when he knows that this is SOOO important to me. Is it time that I break up with him and just leave it to God or is there something else I could do? Please Help.

Wow, this is a toughie..
What you're doing is called 'Missionary Dating'. There isn't anything really 'wrong' with this, but there is a chance of you lacking in your faith, or becoming discouraged. Though, this seems a little less likely to happen because he's a Catholic, but his faith is different, and I would consider it in vain. I, personally, would sit down, tell him that I had to talk to him about faith right now, and that's that. And if he says that he doesn't want to, then tell him that you've got to, there's no other way, and it's now or never. That should get his attention. Talk to him about it, what you think, what he thinks, endure it all... and if nothing works and he wont listen, let him go. I would probably let him go anyway, just because he's not a Christian influence in your life, and that's SO important. Your boyfriend plays a huge part in your life, and it's not in a place where you've got room to mess up, if you know what I mean. Talk to your youth pastor, pastor, Sunday school teacher or whatever to get some ideas from them. They may be able to help you more. Pray hard, my friend, pray without ceasing!
I hate to say it, but it sounds like your boyfriend knows your right, but doesn't want to admit it to his girlfriend. This may be wrong, but from what you've said... yeah.
I'm not sure what else I can do to help you. Sorry..
