Quote From: wirth69 When I read about an up coming show with the couple who were virgins' when they got married,my heart sank. I believe with all my heart that people SHOULD NOT WAIT for marriage to have sex. That idea is really impractical. I am not saying people should sleep around and have sex with anyone they meet,but would you buy a car without a test drive! There is a real possibility that you and the person you think is your perfect mate may not be sexually compatable! You my be adventurous and they,more conservetive.What if they have desires that you find disgusting?
My mother waited and tells me"If I would have tried it before I married,I damn sure wouldn't have married it." My Grandmother(who is nearly 80)says "Young people should live togther before they get married because you never really know someone til you have lived with them"
I tell my kids'(daughter 13 , son 18)they should wait til the subject of marriage comes up,but not waiting doesn't them immoral people.
Four months ago I married the man the kids and I have lived with for 5 years! And no,neither one of feel we were a bad influence on the kids.
sincerly,
Mrs.Stud
P.S. His kids' (ages 23-31)thought it was a good idea to live togher first,too!
I almost fell off my chair laughing when I read your comment that read : "...would you buy a car without a test drive! "
I have driven some old bangers in my time (Tongue in cheek!). Of course, I know what you mean, and yet, (whilst on the car scenario), when you buy a used car you buy someone else´s problems. Luckily, there is a warranty on used cars. *teasing*
Young, middle aged, or whatever ...... it is a good idea to live with someone before getting married.
To have a person who has seen you cry, vomit all over the place, helpless at one time or another, and to have that person there through thick and thin, and to have him/her therewhen all is calm, is a good indicator.
I agree with you and congrats from me to you and yours on your wedding - Best wishes :-)
