Saving yourself for marriage?

Question

Answer

My husband and i waited until we were married, we were 29 and 32. It was worth the wait!

Answer

Already did and totally worth it!

Answer

I didn't and I don't regret it! 
​It definietly made my SO and I closer and we were able to experiment and find out what we like, instead of building it up and then going in blind when it been so worked up. 
​Just personally though.

Answer

Perdonally, I think it's no ones beeswax but in honesty humans are not genetically designed to be with a mate for life... While I firmly believe that people can fall in love and want to stay with only one person (Cheating is SO wrong) but waiting for marriage is just against our nature to go forth and multiply with the best mate as possible. I applaud those who do, as I'm sure it's difficult but I'm not going to limit myself to marriage and instead if I'm really in love and could invision a happy life with that man ☺️

Answer

I believe that choosing whether or not to wait until marriage is a very personal decision. Sometimes the decision is influenced by religion, and sometimes it is not. Either way, it is your decision to make. I also believe that your choice is no one else's business. Why would you care whether or not someone chose to wait until marriage?

​ I don't believe having sex before marriage makes you a bad person. I also don't believe waiting until marriage makes you a good person. When we choose to have sex doesn't define us as a person.

Answer

I sort of did. I waited until I got an engagement ring. My hubby an I were each other's firsts!

Answer

Marriage is a socially constructed institution that does not magically propel each party from inexperience to adulthood. A lot of kids (girls, bc that "boys will be boys" BS still flies) where I'm from who do this do so bc they were raised to associate extreme shame with sex and thus marry in their teens so they can finally explore what comes naturally. Whether they actually experience sexual pleasure by marrying the 1st potential partner they have as a teen is a complete crapshoot, & most end up with a kid or 2 & divorce in their early 20s. We handle a lot of "starter marriage" divorces at my law firm. It's not a coincidence MS has such high rates of divorce and teen pregnancy when all the kids learn about sex is secrecy and guilt. I find the concept baffling & had no intention to wait. I'm very glad I didn't. I learned what I liked, had a great time in high school, and hit my stride around 18. I'm 25 now and would never choose to divest myself of that valuable experience.

Answer

I did and it was worth it!

Answer

I didn't and don't regret it! me and my bf were both each other's firsts and we are still together more than 5 years later! it is definitely not for me especially as we are ttc and not married. we decided to try before marriage as I have endo and we want a relitively large family so decided while we have our entire life to get married, our time to conceive might not be as long as ideal! priorities have changed since my diagnosis! each to there own!

Answer

My parter ATM was my first, we are not married but personally I don't see the big deal in waiting to your married, if that's what you choose to do, then I'm happy that yous are happy. Each to their own, not for me!
