There's absolutely nothing wrong in asking God for direction my dear just to avoid stories that torches. This your case is somehow a spectacular one young lady. The bible made us to understand the essence of watching and praying and not pray and watch. This your man you've spent three (3) solid years dating has none of the following characters in him; his not a beater,cheat,lazy,poor,irresponsible,idle worshiper and the likes. He's only fault faulted by you is on religious doctrine and not faith.
I think your prayer should centre on wisdom my dear. Ensure not to be decieved so you dont misout on an already answered prayer of yours by God.
