No more sex

Aja • Aja. artist, bisexual, single ❤️
So my boyfriend is a Christian. We have been together for a year and a half and we have had sex a thousand times but now all of a sudden my boyfriend feels its wrong because it is a sin in the bible so he said we can't have sex until we're married and it sucks because we are only 17 so that means no sex for atleast 3 years and I honestly don't know if I can do it!! I respect his religion but I am really going to miss the special bond.. What do I do? I would be a horrible person to break up with him and I love him and sex obviously isn't everything but I feel that it is important in a relationship. Advice please
