....i like to find new friends with the same belief...
Is it difficult to find friends like that, in this world?

Bravo! I'm glad you feel it's important to wait until marriage. Not only will you be a much happier person but God will also be pleased with you. I was raised with this view but strayed, it was the single biggest mistake of my life. If I could go back and change my course I would have waited. Please don't look back on your life with such a regret. Stay to your course.

I don't believe in sex before marriage. I think the test driving a car can be a good example of why we shouldn't, instead of why we should. Some people aren't just "test driving", though. They are going on long distance trips, putting many, many miles on their "car" in a ridiculously short time, and we all know that doesn't make a car run any better. I have a number of friends who believe the same way I do, whether they have had sex before marriage or not. I also believe it is more special between two committed (and I mean the marriage committed) people who want to please each other, not just themselves. But in this world, everyone is out to please their own selves. I don't know if you are a Christian or not, but I don't think God gave it as an arbitrary rule and it really is there for our protection against being hurt physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

I believe in waiting. My husband and I didn't wait, and I regret that. Our intimacy now is wonderful, but I know that we would have had a much more special marriage night if we had waited just a little longer. Sex before marriage can cause all sorts of problems. After you've given it away to everyone else, it's no longer a special gift you can give your spouse. Sex outside of marriage, especially casual sex between people who don't even like each other, is a horrible misuse of one of God's gifts to us.

Yes, I do believe in not having sex before marriage.I think that people should because for one it is what God said .Secondly, because what if something goes wrong with a relationship and you and your girlfriend/boyfriend brakes up and you're pregnant, what are you going to do,run back to the person? Plus if that does happen,your child will have to go up in an incomplete house house which is not good in a way(I grew up that way and it is hard for me to get use to my dad.I don't feel like he's my dad because I don't like him.Sorry!)I am a Christian just so you know.

Yes it is better to be married before you have sex.
I heard some statistics that said that a high percentage of relationships broke down if they had sex before marriage.
It is hard to go through teens with the pressure of sex on TV etc and stay a virgin or male equivalent.

I totally believe you should wait until you're married to have sex for two reasons:
1. 1 Corinthians 6:20 tells us to honor God with our WHOLE body. That our bodies are a temple of God and we should thank God for giving us human life and honor him with our actions.
2. I'm only 15 now, but when I get married, I want to be able to give something to my husband that I've never given anyone else. To me it creates a 'romantic' bond between them.
glad you also think you should wait until marriage, it's nice to know.

I even believe in not having sex AFTER marriage. But I'm 92 years old.

I certainly eschew fornication and adultery because I believe a person's sexual self is created to meet the needs of one's spouse and no one else. I don't know about how difficult it might be to find others who feel that way; I know I've met several, both in church and out of it.
Hang in there, sweetie--blessings to you!

My wife and I did not have sex before marriage. We now have six beautiful kids and have been happily married for 15 wonderful years. Our home is very filled with love and we consider ourselves blessed. My advice, wait until marriage.
