Put it in perspective and let it be. She is 16 and this is her first broken heart. I am sorry to say, that it may not be her last. She is 16 and if I were you, my concern would be that religion is such a huge concern, at 16. They are not engaged, they are not talking marriage and unfortunately in such devoted religions as Methodist, the fact that she would not consider to convert would be a deal breaker. He is most likely getting pressure from his parents and will succumb to that pressure. Take it with a grain of salt mom, and take this moment to teach your daughter about the difficulties a relationship can bring. This is her first love and she is too young. Perhaps they need to go their separate ways in order to come full circle .....either back to one another or find others. Also, if this kid feels like he's sinning by dating your daughter......asks God to forgive him??....then I'm sorry, nice kid or not I would be of the mindset that he is not for my daughter and she deserves better. Tell her to know her self worth and that no guy should be praying to God for forgiveness because he's dating her. He should be grateful to have found her. Good luck.
