Don't give up, because God hasn't given up on you. You'll be surprised how quickly things can turn around, even in a day. Use this time to grow and learn about yourself, and to focus on the other things you love in life, the things you are passionate about.

Thank you for your response.

What ended up happening between you two? BTW I'm also a 28 and virgin male and am happy to see I'm not alone in my decision.

They are rare, but I am a man that matches all of these qualities. I'm 28. I've vowed off alcohol because I wasn't able to control myself when I would drink, so I decided to sacrifice it for God, that was 10 years ago. I've never smoked. I've tried drugs a couple times but after a bad experience...

As a male in a similar situation, I know your frustration. You want to keep your vow but you also want to make things work with your partner. Sexual desire makes your logical thinking very cloudy, and I'm sure this is what your boyfriend is experiencing when he goes back and forth on the issue...

It's been a while since I originally posted this thread. Back towards the end of April I decided to end the romantic side of the relationship with my girlfriend. It was very difficult but I felt good about it. I wanted to remain close with her as I still felt like we shared a very strong bond...

I'm thankful for your words of encouragement. I'm very happy that you ended up finding someone to shared in your beliefs regarding sex and that it payed off for you in the end. I generally feel I won't be so lucky. I'm 28 so I'm not far off from when your husband married you so I guess I...

I would love to hear your opinion if you would like to share it. I understand about being equally yoked, as if I was with someone that has a similar relationship with God and was made the same choices regarding sex, I wouldn't be struggling with this issue at all. (Or at least not even half as much)

Originally my struggle was about maintaining my vow, not necessarily what the vow was for, but rather that I made it in the first place. That I gave my word to God is the only thing that matters, having sex before marriage isn't really as big of an issue to be honest, however I really do...

Yes, after going through this experience I definitely have taken this as a lesson. I can only pray and hope I get that opportunity.

Easy for those men and women to say as they are married at that point haha, but I understand what you mean. It's just hard when I feel like I won't get an opportunity like this again and I just wanted to share myself with her, I just wish that wasn't consider a sin when I feel it instead should...

She doesn't really care about marriage, and she doesn't really have the hang up over sex like I do. She's more spiritual than religious so she really doesn't have to abide by all these rules I have to.

Thanks for the responses. I was hoping for some varied thoughts, but it seems a pretty cut and dry issue, and I guess that's how I have to look at it.

Hello, I've come to this site because I really need some input from fellow Christians and I don't have many people to ask in real life so I hope I can get some help on my issue. Basically I've been struggling for a long time with a vow I made to God when I was 18 to wait until marriage to have...
