I need a bit of help here. My girlfriend, of a few months, recently told me that all the touching & sexual contact has got to stop because its 'an act of sexual immorality' and it may tempt us to having sex - I wont lie, I've been massively disappointed by this & I'm sure that she knows...

She said this after reading it in the bible a few days ago. She was completely fine with it before but now she believes that it's a sin. She's a Christian and I am too, to an extent. However, I think this is a bit over-the-top. I personally don't see anything with it as long as we're not engaging in actual sex...

Hmm, I don't necessarily want to leave her as she's a good girl and ticks many boxes but the thought of not even being able to carry on with those things until marriage is just too much for me.
Would it be petty if I eventually decide to leave as a result of this?

Girlfriend of a few months told me that sexual contact with my girlfriend is an act of sexual immorality, I really don't see how I can possibly respect this. How can I fix this?
