Waiting until Marriage anyone...?

Question

Is their anybody that is waiting until their wedding night to do you know what?

Also, whether you are or aren't how do you feel about this...what are the pros and cons?

Answer 1

Me and my husband-to-be have NOT had sex and we are gonna have it on our wedding day. We believe relationship and marriage is a respectable and sacred thing and it is sin and shame to have sex before marriage.

For most of the people, the above may sound crazy. But it should be the correct way.

-S&S

Answer 2

I have been raised with very strong Biblical and moral values. The Bible teaches that you need to wait until you are married to do the "you know what" and if you do the "you know what" before you are married, it is a sin! I know many, many people will not agree with this but the Bible is the final authority (whether they accept it or not) and you just cannot argue with God's Word! I have made a promise to God and myself that I will wait. Besides, why would I want to be seen as a sloppy second (or third, or fourth, or any other number for that matter!)? I don't see any cons!

This is a very brave question that I am sure will result in many crazy answers.

Answer 3

I waited until marriage for 2 reasons actually. God, of course. But then also, I wanted to be different. I'm one of very very few out of my high school graduating class that didn't have a baby before graduating or right after. I think it makes the relationship that much better, especially if you can find and fall in love with someone who has also waited. There's no wondering if your love ever thinks about exs or liked sex with someone else more. You don't have that part to worry about. I did marry someone who had already had sex though. So that does come to mind sometimes. But I'm still glad I waited and I'm still glad I married him.

Answer 4

I have heard HUNDREDS of people say they regretted not waiting, I have yet to hear one HONESTLY say they wish they hadn't waited.
Live your life with no regrets.
Check out the URL I've included, it's incredibly interesting! It says a lot about how to make a marriage last. The people that have the most successful marriages typically WAIT until after they are married to have sex.
This is an awesome decision and I commend you for really thinking about it.

Answer 5

My brother was 37 before he had sex. He waited that long for God to send him the right lady, and God did. I wished I had waited, but I didnt. I know this is probably aganist what God's word says, but not sure. I think a man a woman should live together before marriage, and the reason I say that it cause so many get divorced before they get to a year. But if one waited for the one God would have then He will send the right one, and you will know. I hope you are waiting cause trust me you will wish ya did.

Answer 6

I would have waited but its too late now.. Id like to have marry a virgin.. Pros? Least you know your girl isnt a slut and the guy part.. you know guys.. Cons? who the heck knows... its something you cant control... you cant control who you fall in love with and wheather you wait or not.. it doesnt really matter

Answer 7

I've never been married, and until becoming a fully practicing Catholic four years ago, I was sexually active.

But four years ago I promised myself that I would not have sex again until (or if) I got married.

Now I'm engaged and will be married in November. On that night, I will give my husband the best wedding present I can give him.

Answer 8

Personally, I think that if it's love, and you know you'll be with the person for the rest of your life, the title of "marriage" means very little. Everybody has their own views, some give sex more meaning than others. It's wrong to impose one's view on others. But you asked personally, and this is my decision.

Answer 9

1)no,i'm waiting for the right guy and the right time 3)because it's such a big commitment emotionally and physically that sometimes the people don't think about and something that can have some pretty big consequences.

Answer 10

i am definately waiting.
there are many awesome reasons to wait. when you have sex, the bible says that you become one flesh with the person. if you do it before marriage, then you are already one with somone esle. it somplicates things so much. saving yourself is the best thing you could do.
if you didn't have to worry about std's and unwanted premarital pregnancies, then i think it would be okay, but clearly, God has placed consequenses on having sex before marriage.
