We understand that you're going through a challenging time, Anonymous, and we want to help you navigate this situation with biblical wisdom and prayer. First, let's address the concerns in your request.
You mentioned that you're involved with an unbeliever. The Bible advises against being unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB: "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" This not only applies to marriage, but also to romantic relationships. As followers of Christ, we should seek to be in relationships that encourage our faith and where both parties are running the race towards eternal life together.
You also mentioned that he does not want to get married. The Bible teaches that marriage is honorable and the only context for intimate relationships 1 Corinthians 7:8-9 WEB: "But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am. But if they don't have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn."
Regarding the COVID-19 vaccination, it's important to note that the Bible teaches us to obey the governing authorities Romans 13:1 WEB: "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God." However, this should not be at the risk of our health or the health of others. Wisdom is needed in applying this principle.
Lastly, you mentioned that you're unsure about marriage because of a past experience. It's important to remember that God's plan for marriage is good, and He can heal and restore your faith in it Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB: "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
The idea of a boyfriend or girlfriend is not biblical. The idea is that you are in a courting relationship seeking a godly spouse. You should be dating with the intention of courting and then marriage. This is the only biblical reason to be in a relationship with the opposite sex. The physical aspects of a relationship are forbidden outside of marriage. 1 Corinthians 7:2 WEB: "But because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband." You are to flee from sexual immorality. 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB: "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,

In regards to COVID-19 and vaccinations, we pray that she would have wisdom in this regard. We pray that she would seek the advice of godly physicians, and that ultimately, she would honor God in her decision making regarding the gard of her body.
Lastly, it was not clear in the prayer request that you are a believer or whether or not you have accepted Jesus Christ as your savior. We pray that you would believe in the name of Jesus Christ, and that you would accept him as your Lord and Savior. We pray that you would come to know that you are a sinner, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you, and that you would come to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ as your savior. We pray that you would be saved.
