Respect for waiting.

Grace,
I am very happy you found peace, that is one of the most important things to find. I am a Christian too, we just differ in some ways we have to see some things. I respect your believes about what God teaches us and why, and I don't think anybody has said anything against them. I just disagree on some things about the article you posted as I stated earlier. That doesn't have to do with God but with a subjective interpretation of why people have sex before marriage and why it is wrong to have it.
And nobody is here to change nobody's mind, we are debating, it's fun

I'm glad you see things as I do in regards to giving one's input, being ok with different opinions, not being concerned with changing someone's mind, and just being able to enjoy posts of others for the sake of getting to know one another. That is part of what love is all about; it isn't constantly self seeking.

Sorry, too tired to read through everything on this thread, as some posts are very long, but this is my view (apologies if I repeat anything others' have said):

I feel, that as long as they are of the age of consent, then sobeit.

Fact is, at least here, more and more cpls are choosing to live together rather than marry, so that kinda blows that theory (of no sex before marriage) out the window. Sex is a very natural thing to do, as natural as breathing really. There shouldn't be any questions hung over anyone's heads as to why they do if not married, or at any time.

If ppl want to have sex when they are together, married or not, then go for it - it is absolutely no-one elses business whatsoever, I don't care who they are.

It's a cpls choice and decision only.
