Painful, yes..but such a wonderful experience to know that neither of us were carrying tons of emotional baggage from previous experiences.<BR/><BR/>I taught an Abstinence Education class in our local public schools for a year, and I actually had a very educated 7th grader girl say to me, "If you don't have sex with them, how do you know if they are any good?" My dear, you have missed the point of sex....<BR/><BR/>Wonderful post!Wade's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947915870338518569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394593369099711178.post-73067195005092778842008-03-27T13:56:00.000-04:002008-03-27T13:56:00.000-04:00Thank you for this post.

You know, as if it weren't "intimate."<BR/><BR/>One thing that I'm not sure how to communicate to my children (when they're old enough) is just how truly special it is to really be each other's "one and only" in your marriage. The emotional and psychological significance of this was surprising to me, and we DID save ourselves. But beyond that, there's the security in never having to wonder if your spouse is thinking of someone else or comparing you to someone else or carrying some virulent disease, and vice versa.<BR/><BR/>People act like it's next to impossible to abstain until marriage, but from the outside looking in, it looks like it's next to impossible NOT to. We're raised to think that our actions don't have natural consequences affixed to them, but the consequences of premarital (and extramarital) sex are far more grave than someone who still thinks they know everything (ie teenagers) can appreciate. Thank you for pointing this out!!<BR/><BR/>That being said, I also really appreciated being able to go away to college--but our situations are completely different. I went to my parents' alma mater, 2000 miles from their home. But it's the #1 most stone-cold sober university in the nation (and I'm not just talking about alcohol). We had completely segregated on- and off-campus housing, both of which were strictly regulated with curfews, etc. Living on campus was actually more strict than being at home, LOL.Jordan McCollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523599384793856702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394593369099711178.post-63408881243302867252008-02-12T18:21:00.000-05:002008-02-12T18:21:00.000-05:00Beautifully put!!Beautifully put!!Peachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05314457643188082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394593369099711178.post-4377876357137614572008-01-31T10:32:00.000-05:002008-01-31T10:32:00.000-05:00Wow, that's an awesome post!

I only wish I would have had a higher standard of what pure meant to me (my parents tried to instill that as well, I just didn't listen).Cassie - Homeschooling Fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604648403487773900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394593369099711178.post-27951854770658299132008-01-17T15:39:00.000-05:002008-01-17T15:39:00.000-05:00Oh my goodness...

Awful, painful and lonely experience.<BR/><BR/>God saved me and gave me a Christian husband. We didn't even kiss until we were married. I trusted God and He stood by me. Everything is amazing between us. Loving, tender, the closeness is something else and God is with us.<BR/><BR/>On the night of our honeymoon we both said it was like making love for the very first time, clean and wholesome. Silly as it may seem, but we felt like Adam and Eve!<BR/><BR/>"The person you have sex with must be able to love you more than he loves the sex."... Well said. Great post. Will put a link on my blog.<BR/><BR/>God continue to bless you.<BR/>RuthNiall MacChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076241790421339325noreply@blogger.com
