Tracy89 View Profile History	sex before marriage Posted : 10 Jun, 2012 12:01 PM I think sex is best if one waits until after marriage. I have managed to chase a few men off because I hesitate to cuddle until I am sure that I can trust that the man is in agreement with my request to wait until marriage for sex. I also find that I don't want to "tease" the man and then refuse before marriage. Am I too old fashioned in this area? Even on this site, I ran across a man's profile that he will not have sex for the first three dates with the word minimum in parentesis. He sounded nice in all other areas except for that sentence. Am I like totally weird since I am a 39 year old virgin? Post Reply
View Profile History	sex before marriage Posted : 10 Jun, 2012 08:47 PM I definitely don't think it's weird that you are, in fact it's respectable. God is pretty clear on the subject of sex before marriage. To keep yourself pure for your husband should not be viewed as "old fashioned" or anything of the sort. And if you did come across such a profile, after said sentence, I wouldn't bother with reading the rest of it! I believe that if you are truly a Christian, then you are going to want to live for God and do HIS will, not your own. Just keep praying and stay close to God's Word. Post Reply

View Profile History	sex before marriage Posted : 11 Jun, 2012 11:53 PM I'll affirm HolderOfTruth's words; this thing about you is respectable, Tracy89. Now to add mine: it's astounding! It seems the product of nothing less than God's faithfulness and your own obedience. And it's such an encouraging thing for me, personally. Yes, it's old fashioned to wait. And yes, the world sees 39-year-old virgins as weird (they made a movie out of almost that, after all.) Yet in your case it sounds godly; would you trade that for "normal"? Let me encourage you: keep searching and praying for that sexual relationship in a godly way. You know that that will please God, and that He will answer you. Sorry if that seems over the top, it's just that 39 years seems a hard time to wait. Post Reply
View Profile History	sex before marriage Posted : 12 Jun, 2012 10:07 AM I don't think its weird to still believe what the bible says. God designed sex after marriage for the wife and husband to be one. Let's not lower the standard of God :) I'm sure its must be the way every Christian should follow to experience real happiness. God should be the center in a Family. Post Reply
View Profile History	sex before marriage Posted : 15 Jun, 2012 09:09 PM Hi Tracy89, I would like to encourage you to keep on that journey; even if you are the last believer on earth. You are absolutely right and i believe the bible is right and clear on that. SO yea the flesh yearns for all these lustful things but the spirit of God is clear. Hebrews 13:4. The lord who has kept and called you is faithful to hold you till your marriage. Regards Post Reply
View Profile History	sex before marriage Posted : 16 Jun, 2012 12:04 PM You are 1 year away from being 40 year old virgin. LOL. I think it's quite respectable that you are still a virgin, considering the times we live in. I am 22 and I am a virgin, I stay that way cause I believe only someone chosen for me by God deserves me in every level from emotional to physical. "Old fashioned" is just a relative concept. If everyone one believed sex only in marriage then it would have been so "old fashioned" would it. Relative concepts are man-made remember? God is constant, Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end. Post Reply
Samsonoxide View Profile History	sex before marriage Posted : 22 Jun, 2012 09:41 AM i was just talking to a girl a week ago and things were going well when this topic came up. I want to wait until marriage (even tho i've made mistakes in the past) and she flat-out told me she couldn't do that. It's weird because i felt like we as christians should at least make an attempt to do God's will and He asks us many MANY times to wait until marriage. i know i'm human and fall to temptation, but i'm trying to learn from those mistakes and i think it's a great gift to give to your future spouse by waiting for them. don't give up! there are others out there like you :) Post Reply

View Profile History	sex before marriage Posted : 28 Jun, 2012 06:26 AM A man who's willing to have sex before marriage should be avoided. Don't be nice about it. He is spiritually immature and focuses on the flesh rather than Christ; he will get in the way of your relationship with God, not help to strengthen and encourage it. Post Reply
View Profile History	sex before marriage Posted : 28 Jun, 2012 06:31 AM God does not "ask" us to wait. He commands it. The Bible does not condemn pre-marital sex simply because it is "good for us" to wait til after we are married. It condemns it because it is sin! Plain and simple! It is a violation of the way God made things. It is, therefore, an act of sinful rebellion against God to be willing to engage in sexual acts prior to marriage, and those of us who are not committed to waiting (not just for your spouse, but first and foremost to honor God's commands) are not living in submission to Christ. I often see this issue come up here and I'm really pretty surprised by how lightly some people take it. God designed sex as a thing to be enjoyed between a husband and wife only. When it takes place outside of that union, it is an act of sinful rebellion against God and what He intends. This shouldn't even be debatable. Post Reply
