What are your views on waiting for marriage?

What do you think of people who wait for marriage before having sex?





Not just those that wear purity rings because not everyone does?





Would it be really off putting to marry someone with no experience?





Is it more likely to be girls who wait or boys?





To be completely pure for marriage in the Christian view would that mean no kissing either?What are your views on waiting for marriage?
I believe in following God's view on marriage and sex. I'd be careful of listening to other's responses s they base their views on their experiences and they don't always have your best interest at heart.





I believe it is right and honorable to wait to have sex before marriage as you are honoring God with your body. I also believe it is honorable to stay away from porn as well, as we can sin with lust as well.





As far as marrying someone with no experience I believe that is a load of crap, if we followed the bible's instruction, we wouldn't worry about these things. Satan has filled people with many lies regarding sex. I mean if you TRULY love someone, you wouldn't care how much experience. Wouldn't it be great to learn together, to share the experience as a couple.





The bible says that the man and woman become one. Sex is not some sporting event that you want to practice so you get better. What people fail to see is the spiritual component of sex and marriage. We have to be careful what we read as things don't always line up with the TRUTH.





Is it more likely to be boys or girls who wait for marriage? That I don't know. I think the sad thing is that people are afraid to be rejected so they have sex outside of marriage to please others. I wish more males would step up and be spiritual leaders and not give into temptations.What are your views on waiting for marriage?
Ideally, I think you should save everything, so that means no kissing. I don't see this as a Christian issue though, I think it's a moral issue. People should wait for their spouses. It protects against having children too early, it protects against getting STDs, it guarantees that no one out there can have something your soul mate doesn't.....there's really no reason not to wait, except out of lust.





If someone is going to be put off by finding out that their spouse isn't experienced in bed, then I don't think that person knows what it is to love someone. If you love someone, how good they are in bed, should have no bearing on anything.
Chasity should be praised.

Ti 2:5
i think its up to the individual. and i would be put off by someone with no experience, i mean u dont buy a car without taking it for a test drive do you. what if the sex was crap and all u have to look forward to was crap sex forever!!?? id say girls are more likely to wait than boys
Would you buy a car without taking it for a test drive? Would you buy a house without looking it over and inspecting it?





I think the notion of purity is highly overrated and is designed to devalue women, not value them.
No that does not mean no kissing. but when your lust controls you than you draw the line. you have to wait for marriage to have sex other wise you will be committing fornication which is a sin.
I love you baby...here, take my hymen.





Yeah, I just don't think so. Especially since historically it's been used against, and applied only to, women
IMHO people should have sex for the first time when it feels right for them. All this ';true love waits'; nonsense achieves is psychological and emotional damage.
You're missing out on a lot, if you let your life be dictated by a book written by age old primitive sheepherders. A book that is about denying so much of what makes us human.
Its really one of the silliest, most foolish, meaningless things a person could do.
I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
According to Bible and Quran MARRIAGE is sacred, create a Civilize society (High civilization). Quran says ';Heaven Lies at the Foot of Mother(Woman). The Old Testament says, “A virtuous woman is more precious than silver and gold.”





Intelligence and Spirituality makes sucessful Marriages- But Love brings all, it advance us, ready for New Change, to better our relationship-God is center relationship. The Ring is Gift, but not true Gift.





Honorable Elijah Muhammd through Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan teaches us





God formed Himself--not from a mother, but out of the dark womb of space and said before there was Sun, there was a Woman. The Holy Qur'an teaches, ';From a single essence, He created the male and the female and from them, many men and women that include the Bible.'; The ';single essence'; is God Himself. We are born out of the very Nature of God. The Woman is made after the womb out of which God created Himself First, and in the Woman is the Secret of God, She is Second Self of God, She is Woman of God- thats How Human Beings came into existence !





What is the nature of the woman and what is the nature of the man? The Holy Qur’an says, “Men are the maintainers of women.” It is the natural role of a man to work hard and produce what is necessary to maintain a woman and the children that are produced from that woman. As a maintainer, he is a protector, provider, and he is supposed to guide.





Mens cannot guide a woman with sex, only and if a man is dumb enough to think that sex can guide a female, then the marriage falls apart and the relationship tumbles down. Guidance comes from the brain, not from any other part of the body. Guidance must manifest wisdom and since the Woman are the second Self of God, then the man must bring to you wisdom and truth that is from God, because the only thing that can maintain the Woman of God is the word of God, rightly brought from a man who is in the image and the likeness of God.





There cannot be a new world except that there is a new and better understanding of the female, which will give us (men) a clearer understanding of self and above all, a clearer understanding of (God). In the Bible, (God) declares, “Behold I make all things new. What is (God’s) view of the female? She is the manifestation of His attribute of mercy to the world. She is undeserved kindness to us, for, through her we are extended through the generations. It is only through her that we live again, and again, and again. It is only through her that we continue to move toward the true perfection that (God) desires for His creation. She is the cornerstone of the family and therefore is critical in the whole process of nation and world building.





Since, the womb of our mother is sacred, then, this teaches us that the womb of every female is also sacred, for it is from her womb that all the Scientists, Prophets, Sages, Messengers, Kings, Rulers and Gods have come and will come.





In the Bible, St. John, Chapter 10, verse 9, Jesus says, “I am the door: By me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” Jesus is to (God) as the passageway to the womb. Jesus is the Eternal Door to (God). Therefore, as Jesus is sacred so is the passageway to the womb also sacred, because it is the eternal door to the womb.
