I Didn't Wait Until Marriage [Didn't Wait Until Marriage]

Is it important to wait? My parents obviously stress that its a post marriage thing, but is it honestly worth the wait?

Are your parents Christians?

yup. Strict ones at that.
@sharqwe: Well the Christian perspective on premarital sex is clearly laid out. Some of the benefits are clearly and concisely outlined here along with the supporting scripture if you are interested.

I know how tough it can be waiting for marriage. I am in the same boat. But you know I think it is worth it. Worth it in that you don't have any comparisons. You aren't at risk of an unwanted pregnancy or an std. You can avoid the emotional trauma of having such an intimate connection with someone and then breaking up. It is a gift made more valuable by the scarcity with which it is given. What I mean by that is because the husband is the only man who gets it it is made more valuable... supply and demand.

@sharqwe: Do you want to stick to their teachings or do you want to rebel

@bhatjc neither. I don't think everything is so black and white

@sharqwe: Your right. Their is alway a grey area. So what are you thinking
sharqwe · 22-25, F
@bhatjc: I have no idea. I think sometimes the religious stuff is a bit too much. Sometimes I think I've went too far. I'll just see how it goes with the next relationship.

@sharqwe: i agree with you on that. Some times the religious stuff gets to far out. it's are life to live anyways. What ever happens down the road is up to you
@sharqwe: an attitude of seeing how it goes is a set up for failure if you want to wait... just saying. Though I understand you might not want to and that is fine.
