Dear fellow LDS.net members, My close friend of mine is struggling. I have been trying to help him get back into the church and he is doing real well. He is going through the repentance process. However, he is having the hardest time with masturbation. He has completely stopped masturbating freely but at night he wakes up masturbating, this happens at least once a month, he tells me he can't control it and that he wakes up with it happening. This has arose some questions for me. I know this question may be a dumb one but Does this really count for sin (Masturbating in your sleep)? If he cant control it how does he stop? I just hope I can get some advice. As you can see I am praying daily to help him and need as much advice as possible. Thank You.

Dear fellow LDS.net members, I am putting this thread in need of advice. I am a person that cares for others and is always willing to put a helpful hand. Recently I know a young couple that are LDS. They have been dating for awhile now. They are very happy with each other. Always having a great time together. Putting smiles on each others faces. They Love each other with a "love that is incredible". And I personally think they look great together! The problem is that they both have committed a sin together. They both know its wrong. They are having trouble deciding what to do. If they omit to their sins they are afraid of losing each other. Marriage has always been on their mind, including in the temple. Both of them have not been missionaries. They turned to me for advice. I am still praying very hard to find advice and hope. I guess the question that is trying to be asked is; Can an LDS couple still marry in the future even after committing sin together? Please I am knew here and need advice. Anything will help me dearly. I tried to make this clear but if it needs to be more clear let me know. Thank You.
